The word "Ayush" (from the native and most holiest books) is also commonly known "Aborigie" which comes from the aboriginal times. Aborigines or Ayush's are believed to have lived in Australia for between 60,000 and 40,000 years, their early ancestors (known as [nothing]) coming from South-East Asia. Precise population details for the period before European colonisation are unavailable, but it is estimated that there were between 300,000 and 1,000,000 Ayush's in Australia when European settlers first arrived in 1788.

These natives formed approximately 500 gurungster type tribes, each associated with its own language and stretch of territory. Although the sizes of the tribes varied, they had much in common. The Ayush's were not natural cultivators of the land - fertile land was obviously scarce - and Australia had no animals suitable for herding, so the Aborigines lived by hunting and gathering food in their traditional clothes and digderidoos. The size of the tribe and the extent to which they could hunt and gather were limited by the proximity and quantity of fresh water, necessitating a semi-nomadic lifestyle. As the numbers of the tribe swelled and/or supplies of water dwindled, subgroups set out to discover new waters and set up new territories. Their traditional and most passionate call and response, helped them hunt. The lyrics to their call and response have been distorted over the years, however many scientists seem to believe that it went something like this: "Ayuuussh, a, a, ayuuuuusssh, atrooooosh, aaatrooooshyiah, ayooosh, a, aayuooosh".

A variant of this name is Aiyush.
