I don't remember having sunburn or peeling. I've had sun poison where it just itches. Sometimes sensitive spots hurt a lil if I stay in the sun too long...like the top of my feet or my lips or something.

I can get pretty pale though.

OK I will attempt to break this down in a simple manner.

Native Australians are known as Aborigines and look like this:

They have been there for thousands of years. Around 40,000 I believe.

In the 1770's the British "discovered" Australia and claimed it as their own. They then thought "Hey wouldn't it be a good idea if we send all our prisoners there".

So boatloads of British convicts were sent over there and these were the first white people in Australia. The British continued to ship convicts there for damn near 100 years.

Basically, unless your family settled in Australia of their own free will, after around 1900...........chances are you are descended from convicts.

And to this day, the ruler of England (currently Queen Elizabeth II) is also the soverign head of Australia. Hence why your flag, which looks like this:

contains the flag of Great Britain within it.

Aboriginal Australians were quite dark even if they aren't now. It's also believed that a lot of them came through from Africa, I thought? I could be wrong...


Edit: What Casey said. LOL

 

[Tha_Wood]

I think Asia.

 

[Casey]

I think Asia.

They've been there for 40,000 years......I wonder how they hell they got there? lol

 

[Synful*Luv]

I think Asia.

Right, I know some came through from Asia.. but I thought there was another region where they migrated over from Africa, something about the sea levels were lower and it was easier to travel over there... no? IDK, that was high school world history, lmao.

[ArtsyGirl]

So is that chart talking about 40,000 years ago or present time?

 

[Casey]

it is based on modern time and native peoples i believe.

 

[ArtsyGirl]

Modern time & Native people.. Ok. Cos if that was strictly modern time there would need to be a range of colours at least in Australia.

Go to the garden center and buy an Aloe Vera plant. Rip the "leaves" off and get the clear syrup from the inside and use that.

Alternately you can buy Aloe Vera cream, but make sure to get the 100% pure one.

It will stop you from peeling, stop it from hurting, and help you go brown.

i use that plant when i get burnt at work..

very good stuff.

 

[Rukas]

I think Asia.

You, my blunt smoking intellectual friend, are absolutely correct.
