WHY DID THE ABORIGINES BELIEVE IN 'DREAM TIME'?

The Aborigines probably reached Australia overland. They lived by gathering food and hunting. Along the coast they fished with nets, basket traps and spears. In the bush they used fire to drive animals into traps and made poisons from leaves and roots to drug fish in pools. They wore no clothes and rubbed animal fats onto their bodies to protect themselves from the cold.

Aboriginal rock artists looked beneath the skin' to show a person's bones or organs. Paintings of people and animals are found at sites linked in Aboriginal belief to the Dream Time. This is the time when the spirits were supposed to have created the world.

They communicated in some form of language, and worked together gathering plants and hunting animals for food. FACT FILE Neanderthals were the first humans to bury their dead. Archaeologists have found evidence of Neanderthal burial ceremonies. The remains of tools and m...
