Aborigines

The first Australians are the Aborigines. They came from Asia and they have been in Australia more than 50, 000 years.
Australia is a big dry country. Traditional Aborigines knew how to find water by digging in the right places. They used to eat yam (similar to a potato) and women used to do the cooking. Now, they go to their local shops to buy food but they still always eat “bush tucker”.
Traditional Aborigines men were specially hunters. They hunted fish, chickens, kangaroos and many other animals. However, many Aborigines still like to hunt animals nowadays.
Traditional Aborigines moved from one place to another place looking for food. So, they built their shelter very quickly and then they left it when they moved. Now, they live in modern new houses.
Traditional Aborigines liked to sing and dance. Some of them are used to teach children about their history and religion. And always not true just for fun. Now, they still like singing and dancing, also, they speak English as well.
The Aborigines are one important part of Australia society.
