Early Australia

Australia has not always looked like it does today.

Before 1788 the only people living in Australia were Aboriginal people and Torres Strait Islander people. There were no buildings and no roads like there are today.

The environment was also very different. Aboriginal people had a great respect for the land and took great care of it.

Imagine an untouched area of land. It might be a rainforest or a bush area that you have visited. That is what all of Australia once looked like - lots of untouched environments like rainforests, deserts and other landforms.

Australia's first people

Before European people arrived in Australia in 1788, there were many different Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities living on the land.

It is believed that indigenous people have lived here for over 40 000 years!

The way indigenous people lived was very different to how we live today. They lived in small communities and survived by hunting and gathering.

The men would hunt large animals for food and women and children would collect fruit, plants and berries.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island communities only used the land for things that they needed - shelter, water, food, weapons. They never overused it or damaged it.

Communities

Did you know that there are around 250 different surviving Indigenous Australian languages? There were once probably around 700 different Indigenous communities in Australia, most with their own language. These communities not only spoke different languages, they also had different beliefs and lived theirs lives differently.

See if you can find all the words about Australia's first people in the word find!
