They lived off the land. Aborigines hunted there food mostly with spears and boomerangs. Back a couple of thousand years ago in Australia there would be flocks of cockatoos, groups of kangaroo's and other animals in there millions. So it wasn't to hard to through a boomerang or spear and hit something, when the animal would fall to the ground injured, then they would go over and kill it bringing it back to there camp to cook in the coals of a fire. An alternate was to set large areas of land on fire and wait for the animals to run out, (a good example of this method is Grassy Hill in Cooktown, Australia, named Grassy Hill because it had no trees on it due to the regularly lit fires). They would move on to new camps every so often, not to let that area regenerate, but because they would rape the lands food source, defaecate all through the camp and it would literally become unlivable. As for shelter they would mostly use rock overhangs (not caves) because aboriginals were scared of the dark.

∙ 14y agoAborigines live in houses, just like everyone else. There are some who prefer to live a more traditional nomadic life in the country, and use traditional shelters and methods. Aborigines who live in very remote areas often have health problems, as hospitals and treatment are far away. This is one of the challenges for Australia.
