   I've never considered that .... and as there never was ONE 'Aboriginal'   
   nation (as far as I know), I doubt they had one unified name for the   
   continent, either.   
      
   Apparently there were about 500 families/tribes/nations prior to the   
   White man getting here .... and claiming it was "Terra Nullius" ('No   
   Mans Land') and taking it all and calling it "Australia".
