Re: Aboriginal history
Thanks for sharing this, Mike. I must admit I've always thought of the Aborigine people as hunters/gatherers...folks just hanging out living off the land. After watching this video obviously the Aborigine people are much more than what I thought them to be. Definitely an eye-opening video.

Re: Aboriginal history
Cheers, Brian. The English colonisers got it completely wrong. Read about the whole sorry mess here:

Re: Aboriginal history
My education here in the states didn't help things either. The history of Australia, from what I was told, was...undiscovered continent...penal colony with a local population and bizarre animals...bang, modern Australia. I really enjoyed hearing about the history of the Aborigines. Any population who can export their leftover food is obviously doing something right.emfrat wrote: ↑26 Sep 2018, 20:31Cheers, Brian.
