What relationship were there between the journey of the American Indians and the Australian aborigines?

The indigenous Australians, also known as Aborigines, occupied the Australian continent for thousands of years before the Europeans arrived. When the Europeans came, their responses varied from curiosity to hostility. Once the Europeans established themselves, there we instances of both friendliness between the races, with the Aborigines being willing to share, and conflisct, caused by misunderstanding between the cultures. Over the next 150 years after European settlement, there were numerous instances of massacres of aboriginal tribes. Europeans often regarded the Aborigines with fear and suspicion - usually for no reason. However, aboriginal workers often stepped in to fill the void led by workers who downed tools and left for the goldfields. Many women on the sheep stations and cattlestations willingly took on the aboriginal workers, as they worked for nothing but a few rations, and they prided the needed labour.

Why did the Europeans and Aborigines fight?

One of the main reasons was miscommunication. The Aborigines did not understand the European concept of ownership, and believed that the easy prey of sheep and cattle were there for everyone to share. Naturally, the Europeans had quite a different view on this, and often organised revenge attacks on aboriginal tribes for slaughtering their livestock. The Europeans also drove Aborigines away from their tribal lands. The land was very important to the Aborigines: where they were born was where they would die. It was part of their very soul. The Europeans invaded their land, took over and drove them away, deeper into the dry desert areas. Europeans took over watering holes, and many a skirmish was had over who was going to use the waterhole. Cultural differences caused another set of problems. An example was when Captain Arthur Phillip went to greet a local aboriginal chief, putting out his hand confidently to shake hands. this was perceived by the Aborigines as an act of aggression, and Phillip was speared in the shoulder.

Was gold valuable to the aborigines?

No. Aborigines rarely bothered to look for gold, but they were able to trade with the miners. Some of them even became members of the Native Police Corps, and many were employed as "black trackers". The aboriginal people saw little value in gold for themselves. Gold not be eaten; it could not be used in any practical ways. The Aborigines benefitted more by offering their services as guides to potential diggers looking for new sites. Also, with the wave of workers leaving sheep and cattle stations for the goldfields, Aborigines had better prospects with employment there, rather than the goldfields.
