Dampier's account of New Holland natives and life in 1688
Dampier the Buccaneer describes New Holland as a vast land with scarce large game and a chiefly marine diet. He notes the native people as miserable, topless and dark skinned, living in open air and using simple tools, with small fish and shellfish forming most sustenance. He records their social groups, lack of iron tools, and crude weapons, while detailing their fishing methods and daily survival as tides rise and fall.
