There are many individuals who think that the continent of Australia was largely unsettled before its "discovery" by European colonists.

The Australian continent was made up of many different cultures and languages, and still is. The peoples of Australia had different religions, but shared a common and profound connection with the land on which they lived. They also shared a complex social structure.
