The Aborigines lived in Australia for at least 65.000 years ago. We found a lot of things and wall-painting from 30.000 - 40.000 years ago. At the first European contact, we suggest that there were about 315.000 and 750.000 people in Australia. They all lived in various groups around the country.
Present time - how do they live now and in the past?
Before the invasion, Aboriginal people lived throughout Australia, all the way from the coast were the most people live by catching wild yams to the inland in the bush and the desert were thy were experts in seeking out water, hunting, gathering and burning the undergrowth to encourage the growth of plants.
Today more than half of all Aboriginal people live in towns, very often on the outskirts in some Many Aboriginals in the north Australia still got their land or got it back in some way, and they hunt and gather like always.
Dreamtime
Aboriginals believe that everything comes from Dreamtime. The spirits have created the earth, water, plants, animals, etc. It was the ancestors who lived in that specific time under Dreamtime who created everything. However, there are different opinions about what the ancestors were, whether they were animals or humans.
