∙ 14y agoThe Aboriginals believe that they were on Australia ever since the spirits created them in the 'Dreamtime'. However, scientists believe that when the water levels were lower and the great continent 'Pangea' split, that Indians and Africans living near now called Australia, stayed on Australia and have lived there ever since.

∙ 14y agoNo one can definitively say where the Aborigines came from but it is a generally accepted theory that they came from South-East Asia well over 40,000 years ago. Remembering that in those times, the continents were joined together to form a 'super-continent' called Pangaea, they would have come to Australia by foot, walking across the straits and also using small boats and canoes to distance the relatively smaller portions of water. This was called 'island-hopping' as they 'hopped' using these measures from one island to another. They were nomadic, therefore they did not stay in one place. They moved across the land looking for food and water. They are classed as the 'hunter-gatherer', meaning that they hunted their food or gathered it whilst on the move. Being nomadic, it is possibly entirely coincidental that they landed in Australia.
Across thousands of years, the continents drifted further apart, forming the continents we know today. This is why and how the Aboriginals came to Australia. =3
