They had 50 thousand years to build an army but failed to do so All they had for weapons were sticks
We suffer the idea of the "noble savage" where indigenous peoples where one big happy clan. Far from it they had territorial wars and tribal warfare was endemic.
The reason why Aboriginal people did not discover Europe but it occurred the other way around was apart from the balkanized territorial reality of Australia pre European settlement
It was the fact that there was no commercial crop that could sustain a large population base. Without a city to build systems of government, education and commerce. The indigenous tribes were locked into a hunter gather and nomadic society. There was no large scale crop such as rice, wheat, rye or maize that cities could be built upon with stable large populations that was conducive to the development of more advanced society.
Australia day is called invasion day and it was but the real invasion was the invasion of the stone age.
