or they were not smart enough to civilise beyond hunter gatherer [i dont believe this one because there are plenty australian aboroginals today who certainly have brians and can become high achievers]
so what are some other theories?

Shut up...you have no idea what you are talking about
Literally our entire land is unsustainable for crops. The aborginals had no mean of having the technology to be able to cultivate the land. Even the early European settlers had issues, and they never settled here til about 1789. What do you expect?
And to assume they are of less intelligence than any other race is simply a pathetic unedcuated assumption

you are so spot on
they were not these perfectly attuned spiritual people some here want to tell us
they were normal ppl with wars and famines and even in times of drought, cannibalism
and I am not singling out the australian aboriginal for the cannibalism - it existed everywhere else too

egyptians could have travelled by boat to australia
but
even though the australian aboriginals did meet up with indonesians, Asia has some well developed cultures and Australia never even got started in the things one would call cultural developments
so the question remains - why?
so the question remains - why every continent has farming and textiles making and writing and the australian aboriginals did not borrow or develop these
so why isn't there?
