any native inhabitant of an area prior to explorer colonisation.

e.g. Aboriginal Australians were native inhabitants of Australia before the transports from the UK commenced.

Ditto Native Americans - they are aboriginal to America.

Were indigenous people around when Tasmania was called Van Diemen's Land?

Yes. The island of Tasmania was occupied by the Parlevarpeople. It is not known how many Tasmanian Aborigines there were, but estimates vary from 3000 to 15000. Either way, European settlement directly resulted in the virtual genocide of the pure-blooded Tasmanian Aborgines, with the last known native, Truganini, dying in 1876.There are still Tasmanian Aborigines today, but they are not pure-blooded.

Why is the slaughter of indigineous animals by aboriginals in Australia not questioned?

I wish we could all Hunt out in the wild. There would be no money, no bills, no worries mate. Hunting and farming off wild and tamed animals alike, the world would run so smoothl if we lived like Aborigines. Men hunt and build... Women weave and plant tend to children take care of animals and each other. Why cant Aborgines hunt kangaroos if they want to? Better question, why cant I? I'll do the jacko thing but... like, the other way around... turn into a good looking black guy not an ugly white guy.. lol.


Is Australia a masculine country?

Originally Australia was a penal (prison) colony. England sent out many of her criminals and dumped them here. They were governed by some soldiers and a few administrators and a few Christian ministers and virtually carved out the land from a "nothing start". They were tough men and some did bad things like killing aborgines and becoming outlaws or bush rangers and the whole place for a long time was a wild frontier. Australian men today still harken back to those early men and women and believe they are tough themselves but mostly modern Australian men are over-pampered and quite a lot have gone gay. For country folk it is still a hard life in the bush and I would say that the farmers were somewhat masculine guys. The great Aussie male is no longer what he once was, same in America with the great American male. I read one lady newspaper reporter a while ago saying that most of the last of the real men in Australia were the World War 2 soldiers. She might have been right. Most young Australian males have never known survival any further than the nearest McDonalds fast food shop. We also have no national service and the decay in our youth... e.g. alcohol, drugs, easy modern living... is not good for National defence. Not with so many large Asian armies to Australia's north.
