Page "Pottery" Paragraph 31

The Indigenous Australians were hunter-gatherer tribes and did not farm or cultivate crops, and in keeping with these cultural features, they also never developed pottery.

After Europeans came to Australia and settled, they found deposits of clay which were analysed by English potters as excellent for making pottery.

Less than 20 years later, Europeans came to Australia and began creating pottery.

Since then, ceramic manufacturing, mass-produced pottery, and studio pottery have flourished in Australia.
