Although Australia has several different climates, the continent is mostly dry. Australia's population mostly lives near the coast. Why?

- Before colonization of Australia, the aboriginal people had their own distinctive culture, had many different beliefs and practices, and had tons of groups and tribes each being unique. The Aboriginal population drastically decreased because they were fighting against British to protect their land or from the diseases that spread over to them from Europe. The British didn't value or care about the Aboriginal cultures and just thought they either would disappear or change to living like Europeans.
