Are there still Stone Age people living in Australia today?

NO.

If you are alluding to the Indigenous people - they are NOT stone age. They might be living on the land and are nomadic, but they are NOT stone age people. They do make shelter and use tools and hunting weapons which are made from materials found in their environment.
Indigenous people have culture, art, language (very complex actually) and social order.

If any of your teachers tell you that they are stone age people in Australia then your teachers need to come to Australia and be educated.

Yes, of course we do! they live in a very big cave built into the side of a hill in a remote place called Canberra. They all beat each other over the head with clubs and are very well known to rip the civilised people off. Their tribal name is the politician people.

Yeah sure there are...My neighbour Bob is always stoned. Ohhh you mean STONE age not Stoned age!

Get real...what do you think we are? A country of Neanderthals. We know how to make fire and everything you know!

the stone age ended about 2000 years ago, so no there are none left. There are indigenous people in Australia and many other countries, but i would hardly call them stone age!

No. The Aboriginal people throughout Australia had contact with Europeans by the end of the 19th century and have maintained contact for over 100 years. They are modern humans using modern tools and technology. Some continue to hunt and fish on their land and use what the land has to offer but they use modern technology - metals, boats, guns, knives etc. The only people who make stone tools these days are usually Europeans who have learnt how to do it.

No, because there's no "Stone Age" people anywhere in the world today.

There is difference between Aborginal people and "Stone Age" people. Aborignal people are just like us except they did not use thing like guns trains etc

well, NO, because we are not in the stone age! It makes it kind of hard for Stone Age people to exist if we are no longer in that period...

Do not mistake indigenous cultures for people of a different period!

All Australian stone age people live in Victoria and yes they may have bigger brains than us mere mortals because they have big heads. Probably to house the larger brain you spoke of.

This is a typical house cost one hundred thousand Aus dollars ( about 81 thousand American dollars). I could afford this despite being a single Mum.
I live near one of the biggest shopping centres in the world (admittedly owned by Westfield). I live less than 5 mins walk from the river.

Our wonderful life-style is not lived by Stone-agers
If you mean Aboriginal people. -
Well I live at number 9 and an Aboriginal family live in a house one bed-room bigger and they have a swimming pool at number14.

ALL stone-agers lived a long time ago in Europe.
At that time our aboriginal people had learnt to cross the sea, 30 thousand years before any other people. They also were doing cave drawings before other stone agers

The last tribal aborigines leading a completely traditional life (using stone age technology) came in from the desert in the 1960s (I think - still quite recently). There are no people living a completely traditional life any more (or, if there are, they are hiding very well.)
