They are both humans and they both wanted land. In essence, with the exception of those forced to migrate such as convicts, all Australians either came here for a better life or are the descendants of those who sought a better life. The Aboriginals displaced the Negritos about 40,000 years ago, with the exception of Tasmania where they lasted until the white man came. White settlers almost did the same thing to the Aboriginals. with the exception of the Northern Territory and Nth Western Australia.

What is the difference between aboriginals and white settlers?
The white settlers had the guns and ropes and they had no qualms about using them. They also obviously had a different skins colour from each other which would have been quite confronting for them at the time. The whites also had a higher level of civilisation.
Was it ever illegal for aboriginals to marry Caucasians in Australia?
Yes. The White Settlers of Australia were strongly prejudiced against the Aboriginals believing them to be less intellectually sophisticated and generally barbaric. As a result, marrying them and procreating with them was banned to prevent the proliferation of "uncivilized children." The current attitude in Australia is nothing like this anymore and Aboriginals and White Australians can freely marry.

What did aboriginals think of the British settlers?
The Europeans thought nothing of the Aboriginals when they arrived on Australia's shores. As a matter of fact they saw Australia as empty land.

Like many other Europeans, he misjudged the Aborigines, not recognising their unique skills.
