How long have Aborigines lived in Australia?
The answer commonly given is 40,000 years. Depending on which evolutionist is telling the story though, it could be 50,000 or 60,000 years—or even longer.
When did Europeans come to Australia?
The first Europeans we have evidence of were the Portuguese, whose maps of the 1520s were copied into maps we still have today. When the Dutch usurped the Portuguese possessions in the East Indies, they made regular landfalls in western Australia, and explored the northern and southern coasts.
What happened when they came?
The first settlement was in 1788 when a British military colony with convict labour was established in eastern Australia to protect the East India trade.
What is a didgeridoo?
The didgeridoo (also known as a didjeridu or didge) is a wind instrument developed by Indigenous Australians of northern Australia at least 1,500 years ago and is still in widespread usage today both in Australia and around the world. It is sometimes described as a natural wooden trumpet.
