These peoples have a broadly shared, though complex, genetic history, but only in the last 200 years have they been defined and started to self-identify as a single group.

Division Of Lyne
The Division of Lyne is an Australian electoral division in the state of New South Wales. Geography Since 1984, federal electoral division boundaries in Australia have been determined at redistributions by a redistribution committee appointed by the Australian Electoral Commission. Redistributions occur for the boundaries of divisions in a particular state, and they occur every seven years, or sooner if a state's representation entitlement changes or when divisions of a state are malapportioned.

Aboriginality
Aboriginal Australian identity, sometimes known as Aboriginality, is the perception of oneself as Aboriginal Australian, or the recognition by others of that identity. This is often related to the existence of (or the belief of the existence of) ancestors within one's family lines which were directly descended from individuals who lived in the continent of what is now known as "Australia" at a time before the British-led mass immigration programme that occurred post-1788. People can be classified as Aboriginal no matter how minor a part of their family tree is Aboriginal - i.e. an individual can have a vast majority of their ancestry as non-Aboriginal, but still be classified under 21st century definitions as Aboriginal. Aboriginal Australians are one of two Indigenous Australian groups of peoples, the other being Torres Strait Islanders.
