They harnessed wind power in the form of large, boomerang shaped windmills to grind nuts and wheat into flour, as well as to manufacture boomerangs for war on a massive scale.
What the modern history books don't tell you (because of white supremacist revisionism) is that over 5000 of the first Anglo prisoners sent to the island were absolutely destroyed in combat with the well prepared and organized aborigines, using over the hill boomerang assault tactics and equipment which modern scientists are still trying to recreate using fluid dynamics software. There's a mass grave near Queensland that the aborigines used to empty the bodies of their victims. Of course, they somewhat paradoxically hadn't invented writing yet, so they recorded the event pictorally on digiridoo carvings and animal skins.
They were set to eradicate the Australian settlement at Sydney, but the British used cannon bombardment to outdistance the boomerang units and spearmen. Bloody urban combat happened for about a day before most of the Aborigine leaders were killed, but not before exacting a 3:1 kill ratio.
This is why the British then aggressively herded the aborigines into kill zones (modern reservations) with artillery bombardment. The only edge they had in the rough terrain was distance. Had the Aborigines developed metallurgy and reverse engineered captured muskets, they would have been a much more advanced civilization than they are today. Pic related, it's a dead Anglo who had his jaw broken by a boomerang before being stripped and emptied into a pit.
