Best Answer

The main source is rock and cave paintings, which depict certain aspects of aboriginal life.

Stories handed down through the generations also provide a major picture of aboriginal life prior to European settlement.

Other evidence includes middens (aboriginal "rubbish dumps") and evidence of bark being carved out of huge trees for canoes, etc.
