Westernised Australians haven't really 'invented' anything 'Australian' yet.
Everything they have come up with is 'borrowed or stolen' from other Nations. It relies on foreign 'Multi-Culturalism' for ideas.
Hell, go back much further and Europe relied on borrowing everything from the Middle-East... even Religion and War.
Even through Writing, that was invented in the Middle-East, did Greece come to know 'Law' and Politics, to send it over time and space to North America.
So the Aboriginals may have invented a 'Stick', besides actual Agriculture (the whole land was a Farm) that worked 'with' the Land, not against it and other Innovations of originality.
You might ask then, why did they stop - back there in time, long ago? What was the cause of their 'stagnation' from being the most 'advanced' of all the early Sapien peoples, to the most left behind?
Was it the mass 'SEDATION' of the Eucalyptus 'vapors' that came from the vast forests and bushlands? Here in the most 'poisonous' Region (Sahul) of the world.
Was it the ISOLATION from everyone else - like a Prison cell?
Whatever it was - what was it that made them like that?
They mostly emphasis their existence based upon the 'LAND' - so it is something about the 'Land' that made them the way they became. What was it exactly, that stopped the 'change'? Why did they 'slow' - then, as many of you would make it seem like, as if they actually 'Stopped' as if the Aboriginal culture 'DIED' long before 1788.
Was it the 'ISOLATION'?
1. The modern multi-channel cochlear implant was independently developed and commercialized by two separate teams -
one led by Graeme Clark in Australia and another by Ingeborg Hochmair and her future husband, Erwin Hochmair in Austria, with the Hochmairs' device first implanted in a person in December 1977 and
Clark's in August 1978.[12]

The black box flight recorder has helped make commercial air travel the world’s safest form of travel. It
was invented by Australian scientist Dr David Warren, who lost his own father to an aircraft tragedy in 1934 when the Miss Hobart crashed into the Bass Strait.
3.In 1999,
Perth-based plastic surgeon Professor Fiona Wood patented her spray-on skin technique. The innovation involves taking a small patch of the victim’s healthy skin and using it to grow new skin cells in a laboratory.

Electronic pacemakerAustralian doctor Mark Lidwill and physicist Edgar Booth developed the first artificial pacemaker in the 1920s.
5. Google Maps
Danish brothers Lars and Jens Rasmussen developed the platform for
Google Maps in Sydney in the early 2000s.
Along with Australians Neil Gordon and Stephen Ma, they founded a small start-up company called Where 2 Technologies in 2003.

Polymer bank notesPlastic bank notes
were developed in a combined effort by the Reserve Bank of Australia and CSIRO in the 1980s. The first plastic bank note to be put into circulation was the $10 note, released in 1988

Electric drillDIY-enthusiasts can thank an Aussie for this indispensible piece of equipment. In 1889,
Australian electrical engineer Arthur James Arnot patented the world’s first electric drill with his colleague William Brain.8.
Winged keel
Ben Lexcen, an Australian yachtsman and marine architect, invented the winged keel – a nearly horizontal foil, or wing, at the base of a sailing boat keel.
9.Permaculture
In 1972,
Bill Mollison had the epiphany which led to the development of permaculture, a concept that uses a natural approach to designing self-sufficient human settlements and agricultural systems.Today permaculture is an alternative to chemical-based agriculture which can be harmful to humans and the environment.

Wi-Fi technology
In 1992 John O’ Sullivan and the CSIRO developed Wi-Fi technology, used by more than a billion people around the world today. The core parts of the technology came out of research in the mid-1970s in the field of radio astronomy, when John and his colleagues at the CSIRO were originally looking for the faint echoes of black holes.
As a result of this work, the CSIRO has held key patents for Wi-Fi technology since the mid-1990s, bringing the organisation millions of dollars in royalties every year.

Ultrasound scanner
In 1976 Ausonics commercialised the ultrasound scanner. Studying ultrasound from 1959 onwards, the Ultrasonics Research Section of the Commonwealth Acoustrics Laboratories Branch (later to become the Ultrasonic Institute) discovered a way to differentiate ultrasound echoes bouncing off soft tissue in the body and converting them to TV images. This discovery forever changed pre-natal care as it gave expecting parents a window to the foetus without x-ray exposure. Ultrasound technology is also used in the diagnoses of medical problems of the breast, abdomen, and reproductive organs.
And there are quite a few more ...... Oh ye of little faith ... and heaps of ignorance of the achievements of your countrymen.
