Were indigenous Australians ever enslaved?

Post Body

The Australian colonies obviously were quite literally built upon forced labour of convicts, and 19th century race relations between settlers and the traditional owners of the lands they were settling on were not always enlightened, to put it mildly. However, at least in theory, the British Empire abolished slavery in 1833. Was there slavery of indigenous people before 1833, and was there slavery, or other forms of unfree bondage in the later parts of the 19th century (or even continuing into the 20th century)? If so, how did that unfree bondage compare to American-style chattel slavery?
