Information: Shelters: Aboriginal people build a wide variety of shelters that vary through the seasons. In clear weather, Aboriginal shelters are mainly simple leafy structures to provide protection from the sun during the day, and the breezes during the nighttime. During the wet season in Arnhem Land and in some other parts of northern Australia, the main structure was the roofed platform house. This consisted of a platform raised 1.2 meters to 1.8 meters above the ground, and the shelter consisted mostly of wood. Sometimes, smoky fires were built beneath the platform, to repel mosquitos. When the time of year came that there were lots of mosquitos, some Arnhem Land Aboriginal groups built a dome shaped shelter similar to an igloo. These huts were made of a frame of saplings covered by paperbark from melaleuca trees. The Aborigines made these huts to keep out the wet and cold weather.

Clothing: Although most Aborigines went naked, they wore various kinds of ornaments, such as armbands, headbands, pendants, necklaces, and bracelets. They made decorative objects from shell, bone, animal teeth and claws, woven and coiled fibers, or tufts of feather and fur. In the colder weather, people wore cloaks of sewn possum skin, and sometimes kangaroo skin. Hair was styled and decorated in various ways. Women often wove colorful seeds into their hair, and in some parts of the Arnhem Land, men plucked their facial hair to create a goatee-style beard. In Tasmania, hair was coated with red ochre. Throughout Australia, the bodies of men and women were enhanced with scarification, mainly on the chest, arms, and back. During ceremonies, men and women would paint their faces, and bodies with distinctive, geometrical designs of spiritual significance.
