I'm no expert either but weren't Aboriginies nomadic? It's a bit difficult to found a city if you are moving about all of the time!

Westminster Abbey, The Tower , Big Ben. the rosy red cheeks............. Noooooooo!

[/QUOTE]They indeed moved around within a given area. Rather that commute to work like Londoners they'd just pull up their homes and move them closer to their 'jobs' But 'Sydney' was populated. Not the 'Terra Nullis' the Londoners believe(d).
