To maintain their ancient culture in modern times, the Australian Aborigines have celebrations using the old ways, including dances and body paintings. They also tell and retell the Dreamtime stories of how their people came to be and they continue to use dot painting in many areas to maintain tradition.
our acient culture is a folk culture while the modern culture is modernized or civilized
Since Australia began as an English colony, or what modern day Australia is is a result of English colonization, modern Australian religion and culture bear marked similarities to English religion and culture.

Possums are not eaten in modern times. In the past, the early settlers ate possums if nothing else was available. Certainly the Australian Aborigines ate possums.
The common figure used in Australia is that the Aborigines have lived on the land for 40,000 years, however recent evidence suggests that figure could be closer to 50,000 years, but its not 100% proven as yet.
No, the Aborigines were the first people in Australia, and they were originally from the Indian subcontinent. The first known Asians to have contact with the Australian continent (long before any European explorers) were the Macassans, from modern-day Indonesia. It has been speculated that the Chinese may have been in contact with the Aborigines before the continent was settled by Europeans, but there is little, if any, evidence to support this.

It isn't exactly known when they first migrated to Australia, but the general consensus is that the modern Aboriginals (Aboriginals as we know them today) migrated to Australia around (15,000 - 20,000) years ago. There is a LOT of evidence of a far older culture living in Australia for at least 60,000 years but dissapeared around the time the Aboriginals migrated here. The older culture was prominent in the north west of the country where paintings of the ancient "Wandjina" are the only remnants left of the first inhabitants.
The indigenous people of Australia certainly hunted platypuses when they still lived their traditional lifestyle. In modern times, while some tribes live semi traditional lifestyles, they do not eat platypuses.

Cultural Differences Between Australia and Japanhttp://www.convictcreations.com/culture/japan.htmlThe different histories of Japan and Australia are reflected in their respective cultures today. As Japanese history is considered to be noble (World War II excepted), the Japanese use it as a muse of inspiration for their creativity. On the other hand, because Australian history carries some unsavoury labels, most modern Australians either ignore it, or seek an excuse to degrade it. For example, they might argue that it is not relevant to non-British migrants or Aborigines. Ironically, the desire to disassociate the present from the past is one of the most defining features of modern day Australian culture and one of the most telling example of a Convict legacy.
