thanks for your site
I’ve really be enjoying the information and articles and helping me develop my prepper plans

I’m also wanting to get more involved with Australian prepper survival groups.

A shout out to any and all Aussies stranded in a dystopian tyrant nightmare. If you're in the Newcastle Hunter valley area send me a message always happy to chat , even if you seeing one of my older posts
 
I suppose the good thing about prepping in Australia is you have vast undeveloped areas to hide out in.
Of course you have some seriously bad azz snakes and crocs to deal with.
 
Hallooooo, from Tx!

I have never encountered any "Australian prepper survival groups". (I have been keeping my eyes out for any for decades.)

If they do exist, they are keeping a low profile . . . which would be wise OPSEC.

I am in the Sydney metro area, will be more mobile (living in a caravan) from Feb 2024 and will continue my search for rural property for retirement and refuge.

A lot of the Australian landmass is virtually barren (therefore you are very visible from a long way off), and has inadequate resources to support life (i.e. arable land, water and/or game).
Digging underground is an option for "hiding", but that does not solve the issue of being able to support life.

But there are parts which are useful.

The most dangerous "snakes" are two-legged and they are also "crocs" (of sh*t). The snakes and crocs with scales are a lot easier to get along with.

I am not sure of the point you are trying to make.

To say "Aboriginals live in central Australia" is not an accurate characterization of where Aboriginals live.
Aboriginals live across the entirety of Australia, including in each major metropolitan city.
There are cities, towns, regional and remote areas where their populations are higher, but it is a bit too difficult to explain in writing.
It is true that the percentage of the population which is Aboriginal is higher in some remote areas.

The first map below shows the Aboriginal population in each state and territory, and their percentage of the total population.

Some aborigines live in Central Australia. They have lived there for many generations.
Older men and women train the young members of their tribe how to survive "in the bush".
by teaching the types of animals, reptiles and birds that are local to each area that they live in.
They are also taught how to recognize the tracks each of these leave and how to track them.
They are also taught how theses creatures live in the deserts. Also how to find water, most important.

Understand they are/where a nomadic people.
They are also taught about the Dreamtime, their tribal totems, and their own personal totems and customs.

What I am trying to communicate is a very simplistic understanding of the lore of our indigenous people's tribal life, while seemingly simplistic it is actually quite complex and requires more time and space than I can commit too.
 
I know " Water World " was just an fictional movie , but I thought it was based on a actual good survival technique . If I was in a location that was deemed Un survivable against a hostile government or as we now see an irrational government I might consider obtaining some sort of wind powered sailing vessel to escape to open waters .

So it could be done with proper training.

The point I was making is that it is possible if you know what your doing.

What can be? Living in the middle of Australia?
There is very little arable land. If living there, it is almost always with food "imports" from elsewhere.
Aboriginals were able to live out there, but only with low population numbers and very subsistence; not plentiful.

You might be able to do it, but most of your time would be spent seeking scarce food and water . . . the way hunter-gatherers used to "live".
 
The Aborigines adapted physically to their environment by natural selection. That doesn't happen immediately or even in a generation. It takes a lot of less genetically adapted individuals to die off and stop contributing to the gene pool.
