According to Wikipedia

Religious demography among Indigenous Australians is not conclusive because the methodology of the census is not always well-suited to obtaining accurate information on Aboriginal people. The 1996 census reported that almost 72 percent of Aborigines practiced some form of Christianity; 16 percent listed no religion. The 2001 census contained no comparable, updated data. There has also been an increase in the number of followers of Islam among the Indigenous Australian community.

Don't know if the religion has an actual name, as it seems that all different areas have different beliefs, this is quite a good site to look at the beliefs of the, hope you find it interesting, Ray
