Australian/New Zealand History

The Aborigines came to Australia from south Asia thousands of years ago. They were isolated from the rest of the world until the Europeans "discovered" them in the 18th century. They had a very rich culture with a deep spiritual beliefs. The contact with the English led to the disruption of their culture and society.
Aborigines
"Australian Aborigines are the main indigenous people of Australia. Their ancestors probably arrived in Australia over 50,000 years ago, although this figure remains in dispute. Some historians believe people have lived in Australia for up to 100, 000 years. Aboriginal people from different parts of Australia have their own names for themselves such as Koori, Yamaji, Nunga, Murri etc; these names are specific to various regions". Source: Wikipedia
