41. ! Rainforest Aborigines ! Tropical Rainforest, North Queensland, Australia
    When European settlers first came to this part of australia, they were struck bythe relatively small stature and slender bodies of the rainforest aborigines.  
    http://rainforest-australia.com/aborigin.htm
    
    Extractions: Jessie Calico " Theirs was a culture with no chiefs or kings. If the senior men and women of each clan had implied status, it was because of their wisdom and the highest attributes a (Ngadjon-jii) could possess was a keen memory and great skill in hunting, gathering and bushcraft." Toohey (1990) The largest area of natural rainforest in Australia lies between Cardwell and Cooktown, northeastern Queensland. The southern part of this region, including the nearby open forest, is the traditional territory of the Aboriginal people who speak the 6 languages of Giramay, Jirrbal, Mamu, Djiru, Gulngay and Ngadjon. The separate languages separate them into 6 different tribes, although the languages are grouped together and referred to as Dyirbal (Jirrbal), which is the language spoken by the majority of surviving speakers. Based on linguistic evidence, it has been suggested that these 6 tribes descended from a single ancestor tribe, but as the members grew in numbers, it would have split in two, and so on.

43. The Story Of The Blacks: The Aborigines Of Australia. Electronic Book By Charles
    The Story of the Blacks The aborigines of australia. The Story of theBlacks The aborigines of australia Charles White (18451922).  
    http://www.culturelanguage.com.au/aborigines/
    
    Extractions: This site is dedicated to the dissemination of a "missing" book from Australian history - volume III of Charles White's Early Australian History . Written in the 1890's, White's account was an attempt to collect together a factual narrative for his newspaper readers as a kind of requiem to the seemingly doomed Aboriginal race of Australia. It is a competent compilation from multiple sources aimed at a general readership. Why the original manuscript was never published in book form is currently a mystery. It tells a story of which all who profit from life in Australia should be aware. The on-line version of the "Story of the Blacks" is free for on-line readers. Details about a pdf version and expressions of interest in a hardcopy version are available via the PDF link. Readers who see merit in this work as a resource by which we can collectively better understand the legacy the colonial period has bestowed on our living generations are encourage to provide links to this site and spread the word. Reconciliation has by necessity become a peoples' movement and we hope that this work may be for some a viable way of improving general knowledge of this painful part of Australian history.

44. The Story Of The Blacks: The Aborigines Of Australia. Electronic Book Ch37 Attem
    The Story of the Blacks The aborigines of australia. Electronic book ch37Attempts to Civilise and Christianise by Charles White (18451922).  
    http://www.culturelanguage.com.au/aborigines/attempts_to_civilise_and_christiani
    
    Extractions: I But the efforts of the authorities to make some return to the blacks for the loss of their natural heritage were not confined to the attempts to civilise merely. They sought to bring within their reach the blessings of Christianity and them within the reach of the blessings, by establishing mission stations in localities on the outskirts, or near the outskirts, of European settlement. But the word "failure" describes the result of these efforts also. As a race the Aborigines were as unimpressionable to Christian teaching as they were to the practical lessons in agriculture, and if individuals did happen to learn, very few of them retained their knowledge for any length of time or put it to permanent practical use. In 1824, while the Parramatta Institution was struggling towards destruction, an attempt was made with an establishment at Lake Macquarie, the Government reserving 10,000 acres of land there and establishing a mission under the auspices of the London Missionary Society, with Rev. L. E. Threlkeld as superintendent. But at the end of six years the Society gave up the mission finding the expenses of its maintenance too great. Mr Threlkeld, however, who had become fairly proficient in the Aboriginal language was disinclined to give up the work, and Governor Darling made him a grant of land in the same place for the purpose of continuing the mission. The establishment was kept up for several years, but every report sent in by the Superintendent spoke of discouragement and non-success, and in 1841, owing to the almost total extinction of the Lake Macquarie tribes, he received notice from the Government that his services would be no longer required. Thus ended effort number two.

    http://www.abs.gov.au/Ausstats/abs@.nsf/Lookup/44D36EF37CA0C875CA2569DE002139DF
    
    Extractions: The Australian aboriginals are generally allowed to belong to one of the most primitive races of mankind. A primitive or generalised, or non-specialised race, like a primitive animal, is not necessarily primitive in all or even in most of its physical characters; on the contrary, it is usually on account of its possessing some one or several very greatly specialised characters that it has been able to survive and to remain generalised, or because it has been geographically cut off and not subjected to competition in the struggle for existence with outside competitors. In the case of some animal forms it is very easy to point out such greatly specialised characters. Man, for example, though but poorly specialised in body generally when compared with the donkey or the deer, has one particular and peculiar feature that stands out prominently as a mark of distinction and specialisation. That feature is his brain. A highly specialised brain means less necessity for specialisation of the other parts of the body. His teeth and jaws remain generalised because he can catch and cook. His skin is smooth and thin because he can provide means of shelter and defence.

    Extractions: The Trauma of Australia's Aborigines A Nation Divided World Press Review/September 2000 As official Australia steps into the spotlight to host the Olympic Games in Sydney this month, journalists taking a close look at the land down under are reporting on the country's enduring social strains, the legacy of a shameful history of mistreatment of its Aboriginal population, and the desperate conditions under which they live today. Tens of thousands of Aborigines were killed by early European settlers, who occupied their land. From the early 1900s to the mid-1970s, some 50,000 Aboriginal children, many of mixed race, were taken from their families to assimilate them into white society. The traumas of this "stolen generation" remain a source of sorrow and bitterness. Still mired in poverty, Aborigines have startlingly low levels of life expectancy, income, health, and education. A national commission recommended that the government grant reparations and a formal apology for the "stolen generation." But Prime Minister John Howard refused to apologize. Then a leaked report revealed official denial of the extent and significance of the policy to split up Aborigine families. Angry Aboriginal leaders promise to stage protests at the Olympics, when the whole world will be watching.

55. Australia’s Aborigines … Did They See Dinosaurs?
    australia’s aborigines Did they see dinosaurs? by Rebecca Driver23 April 2001. First published in Creation Ex Nihilo 21(1)24  
    http://www.answersingenesis.org/home/area/Magazines/docs/v21n1_aboriginals_dinos
    
    Extractions: SUBSCRIBE to the full-color CREATION family magazine TODAY! The locals appear familiar with this creature, which they readily identify from drawings of fossil reconstructions as being like one of the dinosaurs. Few realise, however, that similar accounts occur in other parts of the world. Australian Aborigines have stories of encounters with huge, sometimes frightening monsters which range from what sound like dinosaurs to giant marsupials, also believed to have long become extinct. Such oral traditions tend not to last more than a few hundred years without being distorted out of recognition. This would suggest that some of these animals may have still been living in Australia some two to three hundred years ago, or even more recently. Such a conclusion may surprise many, but it would explain why documented encounters with similar monsters post-date the time of European settlement.

    Extractions: Alles, Tiere, Menschen und das Land waren ein Teil der endlosen Traumzeit als es keinen Unterschied gab zwischen Menschen, Tieren und spirituellen Wesen. Es war zu dieser Zeit als die Erde und alles was es darauf gibt erschaffen bzw. erträumt wurde von diesen spirituellen Wesen oder auch totemische Vorfahren genannt. Ihre Taten sind ein Teil des Lebens, so wie Menschen ein Teil von Tieren sind und Tiere ein Teil von Menschen sind. In dieser Traumzeit erträumte man die Verwandschaft von allen Dingen zueinander; Menschen, Tiere, Natur, Stämme, Gesetze, Herkunft, Kunst etc. Aus dieser Verwandschaft entstanden Stämme, Gesetze, Rituale, Kunst oder kurz die Kultur. Diese Kultur der Aborigines ist die älteste durchgehende Kultur der Weltgeschichte mit Ursprüngen die 40.000 Jahre wahrscheinlich aber mehr zurückgehen.

    Extractions: 7 September 1999 Use this version to print The genocidal practices perpetrated against Australian Aborigines were the outcome of policies adopted and implemented by all Australian governments from British settlement in 1788 until the present. A people who had virtually no contact with the outside world, were suddenly confronted with a hostile and alien force. Aborigines were forced out of their traditional homes, hunted like wild animals, poisoned or shot, and confined to the harshest and most desolate climes. The effect of British settlement upon these people led to near extinction within 120 years. The Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies has published a report detailing this history. Entitled
