The Aborigines were the original inhabitants of Australia and the surrounding islands. No one knows when they first arrived estimates range between 40,000 and 125,000 years ago.
Their tales, sometimes know as 'Dreamtime Stories', are nearly always associated with the land, often explaining the reasons for natural features, like rock formations, or how the animals came to be.
