Cultural differences led to misunderstandings. For example, Captain Arthur Phillip once received a spear in his shoulder through a misunderstanding over an Aboriginal ritual, not through malice on either side. However, cultural differences also meant that the Aborigines did not understand the white man's concept of "ownership". They thought that the cattle and sheep the white men farmed were easy game for hunting: white men interpreted their killing of livestock as theft and hostility. Once white men reacted in anger, killing Aborigines in revenge, tensions and conflict escalated from there.
The European settlers of Australia and the Aborigines fought due to cultural misunderstandings. In one example, Captain Arthur Phillip sought to meet with an aboriginal tribesman on the beach. In standard English manner, he thrust out his hand in welcome, to shake hands. Not understanding the cultural context, the Aborigine believed it was an act of aggression, and speared him in the shoulder.
The Aborigines had no concept of ownership, and they did not see why the white strangers couldn't share the land. They also didn't see why they were not permitted to spear the big, easy-to-catch livestock of the white settlers for their own food.Tthese beasts were valuable and so naturally, the white settlers saw the aboriginal actions as attacks, and hostilities began to grow, with land-owners sometimes gathering together and setting out to eradicate groups of "troublesome" Aborigines.
In Tasmanian, one of the earliest massacres of Aborigines occurred when the European settlers thought they were being attacked. All that really happened was that a party of around 300 aboriginal men were on a kangaroo hunt, and inadvertently stumbled across a white settlement. The "Battle of Risdon", as it came to be called, resulted in the deaths of anywhere between 3 and 50 Aborigines (eyewitness accounts vary dramatically), all because the Aborigines were hunting kangaroos. They had not formed an attacking party. This was the start of years of conflict between Tasmanian Aborigines and white settlers which eventually resulted in the loss of the purebred aboriginal race from Tasmania. It also typified the misunderstandings that eventually led to more and more aboriginal massacres and attacks from Aborigines.

Aboriginal does not really mean anything. The Aborigines are a people indigenous to Australia, they inhabited the land far before the white settlers moved there and are now a protected culture.

There have always been diseases among aboriginals that the Aboriginal treated with greater or lesser success.
