Rainforests: The Wet Tropics

For thousands of years, the local residents of the rainforest have been residing in the rainforests of the Wet Tropics region. The Wet Tropics rainforests were one of the most populated areas of Australia, before the European settlement. The only area where Australian natives lived was located permanently in the rainforest. The rainforest native people’s environment had provided everything such as: spirituality, identity, social order, shelter, food, and medicine. The rainforest’s natives had an economic system in place which involved the exchanging of resources between different tribes.
