the colonizers brought with them animal species found in europe, and even bred their own variations to better fit the new environment - they introduced sheep and cattle ranches throughout the country, and today, austrailia is a prime producer of bovine cattle, sheep and pork, and also known for its barbeques.

rabbit and deer were also introduced for hunting purposes - rabbit was initially eaten by poor families during the great depression, because it was the only affordable meat at the time.

throughout the years the stigma eventually subsided and transformed the food into a delicacy - now rabbit is commonly served at many gourmet australian restaurants.

colonizers planted familiar crops, in which flour became a staple in the diet, and was often used to make damper - a denser version of a typical loaf of bread.
