Before 1788, the Indigenous peoples of Australia practiced diverse spiritual beliefs and cultural traditions that were deeply connected to the land, nature, and their ancestral heritage. These beliefs often included concepts of the Dreamtime, which encompasses creation stories, ancestral spirits, and a holistic understanding of the universe. Each Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander group had its own specific spiritual practices and totems, reflecting their unique relationship with their environment. There were no organized religions as understood in the Western context; instead, spirituality was intertwined with daily life and community.

How did Australia's relationship with England change from 1788 to 1914?

There was no relationship between England(Britain) and Australia(Terra Nullis)BEFORE 1788. In 1788, the First Fleet (11 ships) came to Australia. These ships had convicts, food and officers on them. The ships transported them to Port Jackson at Botney Bay in New South Wales and they built a settlement. Australia was referred to 'Terra Nullis' until 1901 where Australia was given it's name 'Australia'. So basically, Australia was a 'convict dumping place' to England from 1788 till 1914 where World War 1 started, and Australia decided that they would help England defend their offenders.
