They lived off the land. Aborigines hunted there food mostly with spears and boomerangs. Back a couple of thousand years ago in Australia there would be flocks of cockatoos, groups of kangaroo's and other animals in there millions. So it wasn't to hard to through a boomerang or spear and hit something, when the animal would fall to the ground injured, then they would go over and kill it bringing it back to there camp to cook in the coals of a fire. An alternate was to set large areas of land on fire and wait for the animals to run out, (a good example of this method is Grassy Hill in Cooktown, Australia, named Grassy Hill because it had no trees on it due to the regularly lit fires). They would move on to new camps every so often, not to let that area regenerate, but because they would rape the lands food source, defaecate all through the camp and it would literally become unlivable. As for shelter they would mostly use rock overhangs (not caves) because aboriginals were scared of the dark.
Aborigines live in houses, just like everyone else. There are some who prefer to live a more traditional nomadic life in the country, and use traditional shelters and methods. Aborigines who live in very remote areas often have health problems, as hospitals and treatment are far away. This is one of the challenges for Australia.
There are no longer any Australian indigenous people (Aborigines) living a traditional native lifestyle in Australian rainforests.
Today, Australian Aborigines live in a variety of accommodation, from large houses to small, simple housing commission cottages. When they lived their traditional lifestyle, the Australian indigenous people had simple lean-tos called humpies. They were made from branches, grass, bark and twigs. Humpies were just temporary shelters ideal for the nomadic lifestyle of the Aborigines.
Although many aboriginal people are integrated into Australian mainstream society today, there are tribes which live a semi-traditional lifestyle, still hunting in the remote outback.
Today, Australian Aborigines live in the towns and outskirts, and in the Eastern states of Australia. They comprise around 3 percent of Australia's population.
It is unlikely that the Australian Aborigines eat cooked echidna nowadays, but they certainly used to, when they still lived a traditional lifestyle.

No. The Australian Aborigines may have hunted platypuses when they pursued their traditional lifestyle, but no-one else eats platypuses.
Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd officially apologised to the Stolen Generations of Australian Aborigines on 13 February 2008.
Australian Aborigines are not a civilization, they are a people native to the Australian mainland including the island of Tasmania. It is widely believed that the first Aborigines migrated to Australia over 40,000 years ago.
