"Living arraignments of the Australian aboriginal tribes will vary depending on what materials are available. Most of the Australian climate is relatively mild and little shelter is needed. One could find comfort between two fires at night. Where more shelter was desired it was normally relatively simple. Stick huts made from straight sticks and covered with leafy branches or layers of bark would
. be one example. A simple lean-to could be made using very similar methods. Shelter could also be sought in the caves of the area. In the more abundant northern climates shelters can be more elaborate, due to the fact that the the peoples could camp in a area for longer before moving on the find more resources. Sometimes such huts would have a elevated platform with a low fire below. This was designed to smoke out misquotes from the hut. In the colder climates shelters are smaller and dome shaped to try to keep the weather out and the heat in."
