The Indigenous people of Australia have lived here for tens of thousands of years. They survived the ice age and ancient global warming. They saw oceans sink and oceans rise. They watched the mega-beasts disappear and dingoes arrive. Theirs is the oldest civilisation in the world. Then along came the Dutch. And the Portuguese. And the British. Things would never be the same again. 8 yrs+ Australian history.
