The aboriginal way, was the hunter gatherer lifestyle.
No livestock, no cultivated food fodder etc.
The aboriginals hung about until they had depleted an area of any natural food etc., then went walkabout to a new place where there was a supply of animals and food for the (stone age way) of taking, consumed as much as they could, then moved on again.
Modern progressive societies for thousands of years have settled down in one place, made themselves self sufficient, advanced in housing health and education of the people.
Ahh how the stupidity of the Whitey to 'just make up' such statements to make the Aboriginal appear 'non-human' and thus 'non-existent', like a last remaining group of Hominid hiding in the rain-forests of some forgotten land.
By devaluing any sense of a 'culture' - the Whitey thus attains a justified action of taking such 'Vacant Land'.
In truth though. The Aboriginal People only walk-about when looking for a mate. They mostly stayed in their own lands but went into other lands to join others in major Corroborees and Food attainment sharings. Each one helping the other like a symbiotic relationship.
The 'mostly' FARMED more than they hunted and gathered. Most 'Kangaroo' hunts were more just an act of coralling them into a dead end and thus just picking and choosing which few to spear. Most tribes lived in Villages and even a few the size of Towns with large huts. They had giant Plith groups like Stonehenge (they are closely related to Caucasian, more than Negroes and Mongols), to honour the dead.
They had large storage huts that kept 'tons' of grain and other plant foods. Like 'Rice' and 'Yam'.
Oh, there is so much more.
All of which was systematically destroyed by 'mostly' Free Settlers.
All of which was seen, documented and 'watched' destroyed by Explorers and Free Settlers that moved inland.
All of which was often 'changed' down the line when published for the public.
"There was a giant hut..."
"There was a small stick for a house."
Wake up and smell the Roses!
