Two questions. Need your help. Thanks
Dear all,
I have two questions. Could you help me with them? Thank you very much.
I am not sure the pronoun"the" in bold refers to Aborigines or Europeans.
Until the eighteenth century, only Aborigines lived in Australia. They are the first people who lived in Australia, When Europeans wnet there to live, they built towns on the coast. However, in the 1850s, people began thinking more about the interior.
I didn't find the meaning od "half crazy" in a dictionary. Could you tell me its meaning? What are differences between crazy and half crazy? Thank you.
He was half crazy from hunger.

They = the 1st one refers to aborigines and the 2nd one refers to Europeans. 'Half crazy' is idiomatic, so there is no real difference between 'crazy' and 'half crazy' when they mean 'extremely disoriented and disturbed', although the former is the exreme of the latter. He was half crazy from hunger.

- He was crazy from hunger.
- The situation is essentially the same, though the first condition is probably not so bad as the second.
