Aborigines are the natives.

How about looking it up yourself instead of requesting a lesson on Australian history in a boxing forum of all places.

For information on indigenous Australians go here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indigenous_Australians

To learn about Australian federation read here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federation_of_Australia

and for a quick rundown on Australia, here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australia

And finally, to see if you've actually learned anything, try taking the Australian citizenship test which can be found here:

Good Luck.
