Life+in+the+1930s

In the 1930's there was a Great Depresion which caused a lot of people to lose their jobs, have no money and have hardly any food.

In a family if they had no money some men chose to be a swagman. A swagman travelled around, camping out and looking for food. If they found a farm or a cottage they would ask for a job. Sometimes they got money or maybe were offered dinner or food.

What I think the most common food swagmen looked for was animals, most likely to be a kangaroo. But how should I know? I'm not a swagman and plus everyone is different - everyone would have a different opinion!
