Is Australia part of the british commonwelth?
No. Australia is a country and a continent separate from Britain.
Yes, Australia is apart of Great Britain and who ever says it isn't there wrong cause guess what I am from Australia
NEW ANSWER:
I am not sure that being from Australia qualifies you to know anything. What part of Great Britain is Australia then? It is a continent and is obviously, on this basis alone, not a part of the same continent as Great Britain. The states in Australia, if that's how they are referred to, are independent from each other as states in this country might be. Perhaps they are a colony? I do know that most of Australia's population is descendant from the convicts and criminals who were some of the early inhabitants of the continent. They were sent from places like Great Britain to rid their societies of the curs.

How did the aboriginal people make their food?
To cook food the Aboriginal people would make ovens in the ground. The ovens are/were called ground ovens, but in Cape York and on the Torres Strait islands they were called Kup-Murri. The Aboriginal people would make ground ovens by digging a hole in the ground. Next a fire would be lit in the hole. The fire would burn down and large stones would be laid over the fire. The stones would be heated up by the coals. Paperbark or palm tree leaves would then be put down to line the heated pit. Meat and vegetables were laid in the hollow with dirt and leaves on top. This was done once the fire was ready. The food would take a while to cook but it was worth it because it tasted great.
