Hey, mates and possums� we Aborigines have been here in Australia long,long,long before the Sydney Opera House and Bridge got built, Australia hosted the Olympics twice and long before Waltzing Matilda got sang. To further �rub the salt in�, we�ve been here also long before the ancient civilizations in the Middle East, Europe and the Americas flourished. The bottomline is that we�ve been here more than 50,000 years before European navigators FIRST visited the shores of Australasia or the first screening of the movie �Crocodile Dundee� in Hollywood. Ain�t that cool�?
