say that there weren't leaders. But there were no elected leaders in Aboriginal society. There were leaders known as Elders. People, whom others listened to, asked for advice and generally obeyed when they issued orders. The Elders were considered to be wise in knowledge of the Dreamtime the law and the lore's of the tribe. An Elder was usually a male but gray hair and old age were not the only criteria to be an Elder. The first British to arrive to Australia were Captain James Cook, in the year of 1788. The purpose of this expedition was to start a colony which would serve as a prison for Britain's worst criminals. Of course nothing good came out of it because at first the British made an attempt to understand the unknown culture and failed. The Aborigines also did not like the idea of bringing British criminals to their native land. Thousands were killed by diseases the British brought with them. When they fought back whole tribes were massacred
