land rights= Aboriginals seeking a particular amount of land for their own purposes and benefit. They will gain ownership of the land.
native title= the claim for use of land though not singular possesion. e.g. for the gathering of food and performing traditional ceremonies.

Native Title is the traditional ownership that Indigenous Australians have over the land and water. This ownership stems from the recognition of different tribal lands pre-1788.

Land Rights, however, are pieces of legislation that the Federal or State/Territory governments have implemented that recognises Native Title.
