First Footprints

First Footprints is the untold story of how Aboriginal people came to Australia over 50,000 years ago and adapted and thrived in this harsh continent.

Nine thousand years ago agriculture started in different parts of the planet, The Middle East, China, Greater Australia, and the Highlands of New Guinea. Agriculture spread to the Torres Strait but not to mainland Australia. Here people carefully manipulated the available natural plants and animals to greatly increase their food resources.

After the polar ice caps began drowning 25 percent of Greater Australia, the Narrabeen Man is discovered under a bus stop on Sydney's Northern Beaches.
