I really have to correct on that on a point of order, Aboriginal people are not, in fact, indigenous to this Nation. The dictionary describes indigenous as originating in a country. The Aboriginal population migrated from Africa, thru Asia, and over the land bridge when the seas were lower, somewhere around 60,000/70,000 years ago. They did not originate here. However they were here, when Cook arrived.

Thats one theory Bob. If it’s true, there still remains a huge difference between 60-70,000 years and 700 years.
