Aborigines in the Australian outback. Aboriginal people have lived in Australia for more than 40,000 years. When Europeans began to colonize Australia in the late 18th century, there were around 300,000 Aborigines, of perhaps 500 different linguistic and cultural groups, on the continent. Very few now live in the remote outback, most having moved into the cities or large towns.
The inland region of Australia. Its main inhabitants are Aborigines, miners (including opal miners), and cattle ranchers. Its harsh beauty has been recorded by such artists as Sidney Nolan.
