There have always been diseases among aboriginals that the Aboriginal treated with greater or lesser success. The real problem that the Australian Aboriginal had with disease however was brought to him with the white settlers in the form of such illnesses as measles small pox syphilis gonorrhea to name but a few, these people had no natural resistance to these infections and they decimated them.
