8. The Native Australians
Aboriginies probably came to Australia from Indonesia 50,000 years ago. Aboriginies were nomads.
They respected their ancestors, traditions and sacred places. Some places like Uluru, were sacred because
they were associate with the ,,dreamtime", the time when the Earth was formed and cycles of life and
nature were begun. There were more than 600 tribes who spoke different dialects. The arrival of white
people gradually brought an end to the traditional Aboriginal way of life. Nowadays there are about half a
million aborigines living in Australia.
