Everyone knows that Australia’s first people were the aborigines. However, who knows how and when they arrived in Australia? The answer: No one! There were no monkeys in Australia so they could not come from them. It was found out that the aborigines came to Australia 35.000 years ago and that it is the oldest still existing culture on earth.
However, how did they come to this island? Was it by accident that their boats stranded there? Unlikely. To found a whole nation you need at least 25 people men and women according to scientists? In those times this amount of people would not fit on one boat and after all what was the sense to go fishing with so many people on board? What other reason is there? 35000 years ago no nation had the skill to navigate on open sea. So there is no answer for the question how did the aborigines end up in Australia? Unfortunately, their culture is degreasing less. With the arrival of the Europeans aborigines were moved to the North. They were treated as animals and people shot them for fun. Of course those things have changed, however aborigines still fight against same issues like in the past e.g. unemployment rate and alcohol. Good thing is that there are several initiatives to help them to strengthen their culture. We keep the fingers cross!
