When someone says ‘Australian Aborigines’, we immediately think about the population that used to live in antiquity, about the ancestors of the Australian population. While it is true that Australian Aborigines are the indigenous people of the continent Australia, few people know that there are still many regional groups that currently live there. The Australian Aborigines are said to be the earliest humans living on this planet. Although nobody can tell for sure, history researchers estimate that the Australian Aborigines date back as far as 120.000 years ago.

By the 19th century, the Australian Aborigines population declined significantly, with less than 95.000 individuals remaining. At the time of the permanent European settlement, the Australian Aborigines population was estimated at between 318.000 and 750.000. As I said, the Australian Aborigines are divided into several regional groups. Every indigenous community is different one from another, and each group has its own culture, language and customs. These Australian Aborigines groups are mostly named after their language. The Koori are the Australian Aborigines  who live in New South Wales and Victoria. The Ngunnawal people live in the Canberra region, which is the Australian Capital Territory. Then, we have the Murri people, who are native from Queensland and some New South Wales parts. Similar in name, the Murrdi people occupy the Southwest and Central Queensland.

In the southern and central Western Australia we can find the Nyungar and Yamatji people, respectively. The Wangai Australian Aborigines live in the Western Australia Goldfields, and they had an important part in the discovery of gold. The southern South Australia region is the home of the Nunga, and the northern South Australia is where the Anangu Australian Aborigines live. The Yapa people are established in the western central Northern Territory, and the Yolngu in the eastern Arnhem Land. The Tiwi people are the inhabitants of the Tiwi Islands, which are in the Arnehm Land as well. Then we have the Anindilyakwa people, who live in Groote Eylandt, in the Gulf of Carpentaria. And last but not least, we have the Palawah people, who live in Tasmania. These Australian Aborigines groups can be further subdivided, depending mostly on their languages and dialects, but there is no doubt that their culture is fascinating and that they represent the most intriguing people on this planet,

Australia aborigines refers to the indigenous people from the Australian continent and today they are very important for maintaining an alive history for the actual and future generations that this way, will have the possibility to know better who they ancestors were and the way they lived. Respecting the past means respecting the history and the evolution of a country and even though in the past Australian aborigines were considered slaves and they were discriminated and abused, today the government has policies that encourage them and that also protects them.

Australian aborigines try to keep their beliefs, religion, customs and culture, so they have to transmit all the information from one generation to another, but today they are found in a small number, reminding us of our ancestors. The Australian aborigines community is made from about 500-600 groups and at their beginnings they were hunters that were very talented at throwing with the arrows, but with time some of their traditions and abilities have lost as the white people invaded their space and made buildings in the woods where they lived. Surviving in Australia is very hard as there are many animals that are poisonous or can eat you, but it seems that Australian aborigines succeeded and they managed to preserve until today, so it is amazing the way they managed to understand and to adapt to nature.

Australia aborigines are the people who are indigenous on the Australian continent. Australia aborigines have the same biological ancestry and they share the same territory.

Australia aborigines have their own dialects and their own language, traditions, song and it is very interesting to see the way they act and the way they try to keep the tradition in their groups. Australia aborigines represent about 2,3% of the Australian population. The period when Australia aborigines came here is a very debated subject among specialists and there are many theories that sustain different things. Australia aborigines have an amazing diversity, a mixture of traditions, customs and languages, so it is hard to identify which was the first language, for example, as they mixed together and many years have passed.

The Australian Aboriginals have been the inhabitants of their land for tens of thousands of years, originally coming from the north at a time when there was less sea to cross. The first settlers to Australia arrived 50,000 years ago, which puts a lot of perspective on our knowledge of history when it comes to European and Angelo Saxon times. 50,000 years ago the land was a little wetter and humid than it is today and the wildlife flourished much more. The animals where also greater in size than they are compared to the marsupials and other Australian native animals of today.

The different tribes of the Australian aboriginals spoke around 200 plus languages and there was an estimated 300, 000 native Australian’s at the time of the first European settlers. Unfortunately for the aboriginal people the European settlers took over the land, clearing the forests and killing many more of the animals that they needed to for survival. The introduction of European animals also became a problem with interaction of native animals so the aboriginals started to find their food sources very scarce.

The aboriginal people were instantly outcast and treated very poorly by the European settler, mostly because of the color of their skin. They were treated like savages and were also killed in the thousands for their land and other commodities. Disease from Europe was another major killer of the aboriginal people because they had never been subjected to colds, flu’s, smallpox and other disease like these. In the state of Tasmania the aboriginal population was totally wiped out after many bloody battle with the Europeans. Some stories tell of the aboriginal women and children being killed just so that the land could be 100% free of the natives.

The aboriginals of today claim back their land in the Land Rights movement though technically all of Australia was their homeland because most of the tribes were nomads and traveled to all parts. It was not until the late 1900s that the native aboriginals started to get any kinds of rights and were no longer classed as second-class citizens.

The latest discoveries of prehistoric man are placed up to 40,000 years ago which scientists calling this find have named Mungo Man. There are some researchers who now believe that the Australian Aboriginals have been roaming the planet for much longer than this, perhaps for as long as 125,000 years. Originally from the islands to the north the aboriginals moved away from their native home lands in search of food and land which was not inhabited by so many people. Surviving in the Australian outback must have been a very difficult learning curve so many years ago coming across reptiles, spiders and animals that were poisonous, deadly man eaters and dangerous too. Not only were the animals something that the oldest natives of Australia something to worry about but the plants were tricky to deal with too.

The aboriginal population of Australia is around 3 percent of the entire population today however only little more than 200 years ago this number was 100 percent. The English settlers were at first scarred of the native who could easily throw a spear many meters more accurately than any musket. Later the new settlers and the indiginous people started to trade and get along becoming comrades and workers for a common cause.

The aboriginals whre classed as hunter gatherers which meant that their food supply was usually fresh from gathering that day and eaten quickly since foods would spoil quickly in the harsh Australian environment. The aboriginals used bush fires to their advantage, cleaning and renewing the areas which they were settled in before moving onto the next place where food would be more abundant. This meant that the indiginous aboriginal tribes were indeed nomads.

Not many know it but the Flag of Australian Aborigines was first created as a protest flag. It was set to symbolize the land rights movement of Indigenous Australians. At this point the flag is now a representation of Australian Aboriginal people. Here’s an accurate description of the flag: It is a yellow disc that sits on a horizontally divided field of the colors black and red. Harold Thomas, an Aboriginal Artist, is the original designer of flag. Thomas, a descendent from the Luritja of Central Australia, designed the flag in 1971.

Under Section 5 of the Flags Act 1953, the Flag of Australian Aborigines was included along side the Torres Strait Islander Flag as official “Flags of Australia” on July 14, 1995 by the Australian government. According to its designer Harold Thomas, each of the colors have a symbolic meaning. Black symbolizes the Aboriginal people of Australia. Red represents the red earth, the red ochre, as well as their spiritual relation to the land. And yellow symbolizes the Sun which is the giver and protector of life.

On July 12, 1971, the flag made its debut and was flown in Victoria Square on National Aborigines Day. Several buildings such as the Melbourne Trades Hall fly both the Flag of Australian Aborigines and the Australian flag. Also, several councils in different Australian towns fly the Aboriginal flag from their town halls. The Newcastle City Council was the very first city council to fly the Aboriginal flag in 1997. After the flags 30th anniversary in 2001, recommendations were accepted to fly the Flag of Australian Aborigines, permanently, in Victoria Square and in front of the Town Hall.

If you are planning a trip to Australia, you’ve probably been hearing about and wondering about the Australian Aborigines culture. Pretty much everyone whose ever traveled to this stunning country find themselves, literally, in utter awe of this unique group of people. The Aborigines are astonishingly prolific…the oldest surviving group people to walk the earth…and exclusive and rare in their own right. Plus, the Aborigines are known for keeping themselves isolated from the modernized ways of the world.

So, when you visit Australia you may find it totally refreshing when you catch a glimpse of the way the Australian Aborigines culture is structured. And now, you have a opportunity to educate yourself on this extraordinary community of people. Nearly two percent of the Australian population of made up of Aborigines. There are between 500 and 600 distinguishing groups with several unifying links. One of the most notable is their potent spiritual beliefs. These strong beliefs bond them to the land.

You’ll quickly discover that the Australian Aborigines culture believe that their ancestors remain spiritually alive and when they die, they are transmogrified into nature like flowing rivers and rock formations. Another characteristic of the Aborigine culture is the sacred oral tradition of storytelling, breathtaking art and the Didgeridoo (their most celebrated wind instrument made form bamboo).
