Aboriginals in Queensland can harvest wildlife under the native title legislation for traditional purposes. The big question that used to be was, did the state wildlife protection laws over ride native title. This question was taken to task by the DEH in regards to the harvest a spearing of a crocodile by a native in the Gulf. From memory I am sure that the High ruled that state wild life acts did not. In view of this ruling, Queensland Parks and wild life or DEH publicly stated that they would no longer prosecute aboriginal people. This included dropping the current charges against an aboriginal who raided huge amounts of eggs from a protected marine rockery of Cairns.
There are many tricky areas yet tested by law in regards to the transfer of wildlife property previously legally harvested. You will more than likely find that once you receive a reptile from a person who has taken fauna under native title you are then breaching the state wild life act for receiving protected fauna.. If you were a guest in their house at the time and ate it with them you probably would be covered.
The law can be a nightmare and can often seem to be unfair. Take for example the fact that you can buy and own a reptile in Victoria but when you legally import that reptile into Queensland under the DEH wildlife act, that fauna is now deemed to be the property of the crown.

Sorry Nina bit slow posting,
It's not a secret, her mum started having her first contractions while fishing in the fresh water and recalled seeing a Mertens Water Monitor at the time! She explains "the water goanna was there at that time visiting his/her new sister's birth." (Sylvia)

I once told by a very old Aboriginal ranger in Innisfail , that baked carpet snake was the best tasteing traditional food he had ever tried. He said they used to fill the stomach with fresh mango and bake it slowly.
I think the with mango bit was a modern adaptation but it sounds delicious.

I was told that Blackheaded Pythons are the food of choice as they have 'medicinal' properties apparently!
When I ate snake it was a little bit chickeny...but different...but it was yum! Don't like witchety grubs much...bleah! And fire roasted lizard (I can't remember what sort it was) isn't my ideal food- but its not too bad.
Varanus - thats such a wonderful thing- your wife is so lucky to come from such an awesome culture....And for her totem to be such a cool animal is awesome- I'm definitely a 'lizard' fan. I got two tattoos of them as soon as I was old enough...have always had an affinity with them- no idea why though!
Nina- in some cultures your totem would be fire...
But I do agree with Varanus- Roof rack is NOT such a good totem LOL!
Pilbara- that sounds yum!!

If they are allowed to shoot(probly better than cruel traditional methods) and kill endangered animals(as i have seen on TV) i cant see why they couldnt keep them alive,
