What did the Australian aborigines wear?

Answer:
The indigenous people of Australia, or Aborigines, wore very little or nothing at all, even in cold regions such as Tasmania. In colder areas, they might wear kangaroo or possum skins, but mostly they covered themselves with ochre and animal fat.

The Aborigines did wear various kinds of personal ornaments such as arm and head bands, necklaces, and bracelets. These were usually made from shells, bones, animal teeth and claws, or bits of feather and fur.

Once European settlement began, the Aborigines had great delight in wearing the colourful clothes of the Europeans, with women often donning large, shapeless dresses made from colourful materials given to them by settlers.
