ABOUT THE BOOK
The original natives of Australia
descended from groups that existed
that country for the 400 -500 years
ago. At the time of initial European
settlement over 250 years ago, over
250 languages were spoken by the
Aborigines. It is estimated today 120
languages still exist and remain in use.
About 50,000 years ago, a volcanic
eruption from Indonesia spread
around the world including the
southeastern part of India which
made habitation very difficult with
extensive famine. A lot of people
escaped in boats and went to
Australia. This was a very tortuous
ride where lots of people died. The
survivors managed to land in
Northern part of Australia. Their
Indian heritage was detected by DNA
examination in the past 20 years. The
Aborigines lived as forages and hunter
– gatherers and the society was
generally mobile and lived the lives of
Semi-Nomadic people.
