Aboriginal people migrated to Australia from Southeast Asia at least 40,000 years before the first Europeans arrived on the island continent. Living as hunters and gatherers, roaming in separate family groups or bands the Aboriginals developed a rich, complex culture with many languages. They numbered between 300,000 and 1 million by the 18th century; however, with the onset of European settlement, conflict and disease reduced their numbers. In 1967 agreed to the transfer of legislative power over Aboriginal affairs from the states to the federal government, and this accelerated the revival. In the outback small numbers still lived in tribal societies and tried to maintain the traditional ways.Some were employed as highly skilled stock men on ranches and welfare payments and charitable organizations supported others on mission stations and government reserves.
