[@garyjones5406]

Aborigines were simply the mammals that walked on 2 legs here in Oz. They foraged , hunted , lived and died where they fell from the mother's womb...they had no idea where on earth they were and very few knew whether there were other mammals like them anywhere else on the rock on which they stood. They lived from day to day , season to season . No written language , no nationhood , no architecture , just simply existing as best they could . Modern Australians are crediting the Aborigine with a lot more than was actual fact.
