This led to Australia extending much farther into the ocean than it currently does. Moreover, Australia, New Guinea and Tasmania were all part of the same continent and were only separated from the Asian landmass by 80 miles, at the widest gap of water. Since people who had already spread throughout the Indonesian islands were probably seeing smoke coming from the Australian bush fires, this is the most logical explanation of the existence of people in Australia back then. Once people started to come to Australia, the population soon began to spread along the coastline to the southern parts of the continent, some of them even crossing a land bridge to Tasmania. Soon after, Aborigines were already inhabiting most of the continent. Nowadays, the Aborigines are considered to be one of the oldest human races, together with the Bushmen and pygmies. Their physical appearance is very different from what we are used to. Australian Aborigines have abundant beards, a lot of body hair, slimmer lips, a tilted front, prominent eye ridge and aquiline noses. They are also shorter.

Once European colonization started, they began to retreat to the inner deserts and steppes. Nowadays, the Aboriginal population makes for about 2% of Australia’s population, which is the equivalent of about 500,000 people. The numerous groups of Australian Aborigines evolved differently in the different parts of Australia, which led to a wide array of cultures and languages. They are all different from one another, but still share the same basic beliefs, such as the Dreaming (or the Dreamtime). They also believe that their ancestors metamorphosed into nature (forming rock formations or rivers) and, therefore, they remain spiritually alive. These people are very different from us, but they sure are very interesting.

The origins of Australian Aborigines are yet to be determined. The migration theory is more or less accepted and following genetic studies, it seems that the Australian Aborigines are a totally different race. A 2011 study provided information that shows that Australian Aborigines split from the European and Asians about 75,000 years ago, even before the Europeans and Asians split. They came to Australia and this became their most important continuously occupied territory. The Australian Aborigines are also divided in other groups, mostly with geographical references, like: Bama, Koori, Murri, Noongar, Nunga, Palawah or Anangu.

Notable Australian Aborigines are Douglas Nicholls, David Wirrpanda, Adam Goodes, Truganini, Bronwyn Bancroft and Jessica Mauboy. Douglas Nicholls belonged to the Yorta Yorta people. He was a professional athlete, a pastor and eventually became the first of the Australian Aborigines people to be named governor. David Wirrpanda is a former famous footballer. Adam Goodes is also a professional footballer with Australian Aborigines heritage. Truganini was the last women to be considered a total Palawa with Tasmanian origins. Bronwyn Bancroft is the first Australian Aborigines fashion designer that was invited to a Paris fashion show. Jessica Mauboy is a singer and an actress with Australian Aborigines heritage.

Australian aborigines settled all around the continent, including the area on which Tasmania is now located, but also the desert territory. One of the main reasons why Australian aborigines settled on this continent is linked to the impressive, rich, natural resources of the area. Over the continent, Australian aborigines were able to find numerous plant species, but also wildlife, to ensure their food. Australia was a place in which fruits, roots, fish and reptiles were easily accessible to the initial inhabitants. Historical records show that more than 500 Australian aborigines tribes settled in this area. These tribes were in a constant move in the search for food and water.

One of the most important events which was to chance the live of Australian aborigines took place in 1788, when English settlers discovered the area. As the English moved in this unexploited paradise, the Australian aborigines were forced to move from the area. Much of their art was destroyed during those days. As imagined, things changed a lot during the years and the remaining Australian aborigines tribes are very much respected nowadays, along with their art, historical heritage and culture. Nowadays, tourists are charmed by the impressive culture of Australian aborigines, which they can enter into contact with each time when being on this wonderful continent.

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.

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.

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.
