Evidence of Aboriginal Structures Found

Dr Paul Memmot, of the University of Queensland, has released his research that suggest that Australia’s Aboriginal people, did in fact build structures, refuting the commonly held belief that they were an entirely nomadic people.

“Dwellings were constructed in various styles, depending on the climate. Most common were dome-like structures made of cane reeds with roofs thatched with palm leaves. Some of the houses were interconnected, allowing native people to interact during long periods spent indoors during the wet season.”
