They wore very little, but painted their faces and bodies in elaborate patterns. They lived in all parts of the island.

Do you mean aboriginal or white? If white then either army uniform, red coats, white/grey trousers and stove pipe hats, or fairly ragged dress of the 18th. century. The initial settlement was at Botany Bay. In 1788, the eleven ships of the First Fleet landed their 'cargo' of around 780 British convicts at Botany Bay in New South Wales. Two more convict fleets arrived in 1790 and 1791, and the first free settlers arrived in 1793. From 1788 to 1823, the Colony of New South Wales was officially a penal colony comprised mainly of convicts, marines and the wives of the marines. The early convicts were all sent to Botany Bay, but by the early 1800s they were also being sent directly to destinations such as Norfolk Island, Van Diemen's Land, Port Macquarie and Moreton Bay.
