Best Answer

The indigenous people of Australia did not assist Thomas Mitchell and his men. The Aborigines learnt from experience that Mitchell and his men were to be feared, and that they should stay away from them. On a number of occasions, Mitchell's men killed Aborigines, and at one stage even actively conducted an ambush, and subsequent massacre, of them.

What was the explorers' relationship with the aboriginals give examples?

Explorers' relationships with the Australian indigenous people varied greatly. Edward Eyre, for example, relied on aboriginal guides, and was also the recipient of invaluable help from the Anangu people of the desert when his party required water. However, two of his own aboriginal guides killed his overseer and departed with important sprat ions, leaving him with one very loyal indigenous guide. On the other hand, Thomas Mitchell's exploration party was both the perpetrator of ambushes on the local Aborigines and the recipient of ambushes in retaliation. Mitchell was not known for his good relations with the Aborigines, yet he regretted these incidents, and acknowledged that the aboriginal culture was doomed to die.
