Euros, kangaroos, opossums and yellow- footed rock wallabies were the main sources of animal food. Bandicoots, native cats and stick nest rats may also have been among other animal food sources but due to introduced animals such as foxes and rabbits, these species rapidly declined in population. Clubs and nets were normally used to hunt euros, kangaroos and wallabies. Nets were made of 'ildya' and were concealed on animal paths that led towards water.

They were placed on the side of the path and hidden by the brush, or placed on the path and concealed by dirt. Hunters would hide while waiting for an animal to pass by, and at the required moment, they jumped up in an attempt to scare the animal into the net where it became entwined. The animal was then hit with wirras. Pits were also made on animal paths, with branches, brush and leaves that would return to their original position once the animal had fallen through.
