History of Indigenous Australians: Difference between revisions

 

Post-colonisation, the coastal Indigenous populations were soon absorbed, depleted or forced from their lands; the traditional aspects of Aboriginal life which remained persisted most strongly in areas such as the [[Great Sandy Desert]] where European settlement has been sparse. The greatest [[population density]] was to be found in the southern and eastern regions of the continent, the [[Murray River]] valley in particular. However, Aboriginal Australians maintained successful communities throughout Australia, from the cold and wet highlands of [[Tasmania]] to the more [[deserts of Australia|arid parts of the continental interior]]. Technologies, diets and hunting practices varied according to the local environment.
