Aboriginal clothing

Traditionally, Indigenous people did not wear clothing. The different seasons and climates across the country determined the need for clothes. Indigenous groups in colder areas would often use animal skins, fur side in, for warmth, especially during cold nights. A special oil based substance was often placed on children's bodies to protect them from the cold.
