Strangely, no-one here seems to have much of a problem living on all the land stolen from the Indians. Certainly not offering any right of return. I imagine Australia is much the same. I don't see too much news about white people offering to give back the good land there either.
I get it. Why inconvenience yourself at all, when you can just project your guilt onto others thousands of miles away and ameliorate your guilt through them.
You imagine wrong, you need to educate yourself dear man.
The Aboriginal people of Australia have several hundred thousand square kilometers of land, about 10% of the country at last count and increasing.
They have special rights and special laws, in the future they will have even more land and rights. They build casinos and receive royalties from activities like mining. Kinda similar to your own indigenous natives.
It's not the perfect solution, but at least they live in the country they consider home... not that this means anything to you.
