直到19世纪80年代，位于新南威尔士州西部的半干旱达令河流域一直居住着属于Bagundji语言群体的原住民。Bagundji的经济主要是基于水生食物和野生谷物的收集的河流性质。它们生存活动的季节性变化可能与其栖息地生产力的季节性变化有关。尽管与野生谷物有很长一段时间的联系，Bagundji人仍然是猎人和采集者，显然没有尝试种植这些谷物。可能的原因，这是审查。无论是达令河流域没有农业的具体问题，还是整个澳大利亚原住民没有农业的一般问题，都无法提出简单的解释。
Until the 1880s the semi‐arid Darling River Basin, in western New South Wales, was inhabited by Aborigines belonging to the Bagundji linguistic group. The Bagundji economy was primarily riverine in character based on the collection of aquatic foods and wild cereals. Seasonal variations in their subsistence activities can be related to seasonal variations in the productivity of their habitat. Despite a long period of association with wild cereals, the Bagundji remained hunters and gatherers and apparently made no attempt to cultivate these cereals. Possible reasons for this are examined. No simple explanation can be put forward to explain either the specific problem of the absence of agriculture from the Darling River Basin or the general problem of the absence of agriculture from Aboriginal Australia as a whole.
