What total nonsense, there wasn't any war here, the British turned up and brushed the indigenous aside and took over the country because they didn't have any defences, the buildings in those communities were built in the last 20 - 60 years by government funded contractors the people living in them have destroyed them, the government of Australia didn't fly over them on bombing raids which is what you are implying even though that's how some of them look. War is an armed conflict between two opposing sides, the indigenous had 20 - 100,000 years walking over one of the most minerals rich countries to be able build up some form defences and organisation but couldn't come up with anything more than a spear made from a tree branch and a fragmented tribal system, and of course someone like you would say "but they didn't need to" if they had advanced themselves just a little and travelled to other countries they would have realised the looming threats. If the British didn't come here the French, Dutch, Spanish or Japanese would have eventually. It must be painful to be you, so much guilt about your ancestors history, but that is exactly what it is history and we can't change it.
