    1) Prior to European settlement, Aboriginal Australians lived in over 250 individual nations speaking over 200 distinct languages. Their societies had intricate social and diplomatic structures. 2) European settlers began arriving in 1788 and eventually controlled most of the continent by the late 19th century, though some traditional Aboriginal societies survived into the 20th century. 3) While European arrival disrupted Aboriginal cultures and languages, their art, music and other aspects survived and are now celebrated more widely in Australia.

    Cammeraygal peoples, and noted violent domestic altercations between his


    friend Bennelong and his wife Barangaroo.[31] Settlers of the 19th century like Edward Curr observed
    that Aborigines "suffered less and enjoyed life more than the majority of civilized men".
    [32]
     Historian Geoffrey Blainey wrote that the material standard of living for Aborigines was generally
    high, higher than that of many Europeans living at the time of the Dutch discovery of Australia.[33]
    By 1788, the population existed as 250 individual nations, many of which were in alliance with one
    another, and within each nation there existed several clans, from as few as five or six to as many as
    30 or 40. Each nation had its own language and a few had multiple, thus over 250 languages
    existed, around 200 of which are now extinct. "Intricate kinship rules ordered the social relations of
    the people and diplomatic messengers and meeting rituals smoothed relations between groups",
    keeping group fighting, sorcery and domestic disputes to a minimum.[34]
    Permanent European settlers arrived at Sydney in 1788 and came to control most of the continent
    by end of the 19th century. Bastions of largely unaltered Aboriginal societies survived, particularly in
    Northern and Western Australia into the 20th century, until finally, a group of Pintupi people of
    the Gibson Desert became the last people to be contacted by outsider ways in 1984.[35] While much
    knowledge was lost, Aboriginal art, music and culture, often scorned by Europeans during the initial
    phases of contact, survived and in time came to be celebrated by the wider Australian community.

    The first known landing in Australia by Europeans was by Dutch navigator Willem Janszoon in 1606.
    Twenty-nine other Dutch navigators explored the western and southern coasts in the 17th century,
    and dubbed the continent New Holland.[36] Macassan trepangers visited Australia's northern coasts
    after 1720, possibly earlier.[37][38] Other European explorers followed and, in due course, navigator
    Lieutenant James Cook wrote that he claimed the east coast of Australia for Britain when
    on Possession Island in 1770, without conducting negotiations with the existing inhabitants,[39] though
    before his departure, the President of the Royal Society, one of the voyage's sponsors, wrote that
    the people of any lands he might discover were
