USA help's Australia ?

So you're going to tell me that there are hundreds if not thousands of Aboriginees living in the same area? My understanding puts them as hunter/gatherers, and that method can only support small groups of people...say 50 - 100...in a given area. On that basis, Australians in numbers great enough to harry/guerilla warfare against an invading Japanese force, would not be able to support themselves in 'the Bush' for more then perhaps a few weeks.

 

There is hardly no aborigines left at all(wipe out by white -man)what is left is living in white areas and in the inner of Austraila is a tiny proportion.
I presuming you were talking to me,if not

 

There where thousands of aboriginals, nad hundreds of thousands of white man living in, or near bush areas, As for supporting them selves, They seem to have a good knack for running in supplies via the sea under constand naval, air, nd ground based artillary threat (aka- The scrap iron flotilla). And if im not mistaken, How is it you can assume the Australian bushman wont last morethen a few weeks in the bush when hundreds of thousands of resistance fighters across Europe lasted out fighting for years. They knew the land, Grew up on it, and lived off it, Ony thing they would require gathering is weapons, And last ichecked most resistance fighters tended to start using captured enemy weapons??

 

Ok lets fix this illusion of the hundreds of thousands of Aboriginals in the outback with no 'white men'. The Majority of Australia is a vast area like a desert but is actually considered more of a bush, with many scrubs and bushes, red sand, never endless roads, with thousands of small rural cities. These rural cities hav maybe 1 police person per town with a town population of vary sizes. Rockhampton for example is considered a major town in Central Queensland, and only has some 70 000 people, Emerald some 400 kms inland far less. Between Townsville in Nth QLD, to Mt Isa some 700 Kms or so in land, there are aroun 20 small towns one with a school attendence of 3. The point is these are a mixture of white and aborignal communities made of bush men. The true bush men reside in the central parts of Australia, where there are far more men that have to live on the land, there are also many communites considered to be soley aboriginal communities, up until around the 1980's the aborigianals were considerd less Australian then there White partners and were thus often forced into communites in the less desirable parts of the bush. There however still many thriving cities ush as Alice Springs (Centre of Australia), Kalgoorie, Broom and so on with many different cultures and people.

The bush people of Australia are not gun weilding cowboys, and most have rifles simply to ward of wild animals, there are not any better then a militia man, except for there bush man skills.

The Australian bushman is a versitle man, capable of living of the land with many different technigiues and trades learnt over time, and although White Australians and Aboriginals have at the time still a kind of rivarly I am sure about one thing, the Aboriginals would not wnat another type of people to start invading there land and taking control, so they wouild undoubtlfully join the resistence.


To say the Japanese vehicles would overheat in the Sun is simply a wrong assumption, since after all the Australians have been travelling across those lands for the last century. It only simply means that the logistics for the operation would be a nightmare, and I can only assume the native population would help with LRDG type manouvers on the JApanese supply lines.

For you Mussolini, the most populated parts of Australia are the East coast all the way up and down as well as south East and the South, this of course has excemptions such as perth and of course Darwin, who although are smaller then th emajor cities of the East are considered large cities for there areas.



For a quick reference the Overall plan by Macarthur was simply :
