The Amazon tribe lives a more recreation life due to them not being dependent on money, but more so on living by the natural environment. They physically work to build their houses and to hunt for food they are also nomadic people, bringing there general fitness to a much higher point then the average Australian. The average Australian will drive to the shops to buy food, we employ a large group of people to build our houses. We tend not be as nomadic but more standstill people who settle in areas where general life needs are easily accessible and easy to collect. The typical Australian will use their car everyday, if not their car they have easy access to public transport that is funded by the government, for others they have more globally friendly alternative resources such as a bike or a bus. All these modes of transport come with a cost, a cost for the use of public transport or a cost for buying a new motor vehicle, a cost for the purchase of a bike.

  • Origins and Life of Aborigines in Australia

It is said they are originally from Africa and slowly migrated to other countries such as India, Malaysia, and Papua New Guinea until they reached Australia.

    These natives formed approximately 500 tribes, each associated with its own language and stretch of territory. Although the sizes of the tribes varied, they had much in common. The Aborigines were not natural cultivators of the land - fertile land was obviously scarce - and Australia (before the European colonisation) had no animals suitable for herding, so the Aborigines lived by hunting and gathering food. The size of the tribe and the extent to which they could hunt and gather were limited by the proximity and quantity of fresh water, necessitating a semi-nomadic lifestyle. As the numbers of the tribe swelled and/or supplies of water dwindled, subgroups set out to discover new waters and set up new territories.

  • Russel Ward, The Australian Legend - Book Review

    'The Australian Legend', in itself is an acurate portrayal and recount of one part of society, from a specific era, ie. the Australian bushman of the 1890s. Its exaggerations, however, such as the romanticism of the bush ethos by Australian writers, the unbalanced use of evidence, and the neglect to acknowledge the contribution to our national identity from certain sections of society, ie. aboriginal people, city-dwellers, women, and non-British immigrants, render this book to be flawed. For these reasons, it cannot be regarded as a complete and balanced account of Australian history.
