Aboriginals
The Aboriginals always used every bit of the animal they caught. They also moved when the resources where running low so that they could grow and replenish again. All the aboriginal people had a role to play even the children had a role to play. The Aboriginals were mainly naked but some did where clothes. The people that didn't wear clothes would crush up rocks and use water to paint there bodies. At night they would have bonfires to get rid of the evil spirits by doing tribal dances. -

Why the British decided to colonise Australia in the first place.
The British decided to colonise Australia because England over in that time had a lot of poverty, they had way too many convicts, Australia had nice clean air to live in, a lot more jobs here, Britain could trade with Asia, they needed a new place to send convicts, Britian got a lot of bad diseases in that time, in Britain they were low on work so nobody was getting paid and that is why they had to steal even if it was a tiny petty crime they were still sent to jail. -
Contact between Aboriginals and British people (Part 1)

The Free settlers
The Free settlers where encouraged to come by Arthur Phillip and soldiers to come to Australia. If they came the boat trip would be free and they would get a working convict to be there slave. They would also be given grants of land to work on at first.

Some environmental changes that the British did to Aboriginal turf
When the British colony came they started a lot of pollution in the air because they had to have factories to open fro the convicts to work in, because all of that was happening that meant the air was coming filthier and they were also cutting down a lot of trees.
