    I am not very familiar with Australian history.

    Did the native Australians write their history or only have stories that is passed from one generation to the next?

      Australian oral histories are the most accurate and consistent in the world. While the Library of Alexandria was burning down, Aboriginal Australians were preserving knowledge from tens of thousands of years ago. If you want to know what life was like 10,000 years ago, all you have to do is go talk to an Aboriginal elder.
