The Aboriginal Population in Australia

The aborigines, who had their own rich culture, did not welcome the white people who took their land. In 1788 there were about three hundred thousand aborigines in Australia. For a long time they have been a dying nation but now their living conditions are improving. The aboriginal population lives in towns, in the mining districts, on the cattle stations and in other parts of Australia.

The aborigines love music. They sing and play their instruments and dance. When they dance they put colours on their faces, arms and legs.

The aborigines say that the world is not round, it is flat. They say that there are two worlds: the aboriginal world in Australia and the sky world. The sun, the moon and star men live in the sky world.

When a man die, the aborigines say, his spirit comes out of his body and gets into a boat. The boatman takes the spirit to an island which is very far from Australia. It is in the sky, higher than the sun, and there are lots of beautiful places to live there. The dead man will see all his dead relatives and friends on that island.
