Aboriginal life
Aboriginal Australia cultural programs and experiences are about getting involved but also understanding and respecting customs, traditions and ceremonies that date back to the beginning.

Take a guided bushwalk on traditional lands, stay in an Aboriginal village, eat wattle seed ice cream, learn to play a didgeridoo, weave a basket, tell your story in a dot painting, or hear about the settlement of Australia from the original inhabitants. There are hundreds of authentic aboriginal culture experiences you can include in your Australia vacation package tour to bring you closer to the spirit of the land.
The Dreamtime
Aboriginal Australians explain their heritage by telling stories about the land and animals around them. They are spiritually connected to the land and use the Dreamtime to tell the story of creation.

In the Dreamtime, the hills are giant marsupials, frozen in time. The rivers are tracks of the rainbow serpent, and the Milky Way is the river of the sky where, after the rainbow serpent has swallowed the sun, people fish for stingrays and turtles with the stars as their campfires. According to Aboriginal beliefs, the spirit ancestors of the land and her people descended from the sky, emerged from the earth and sprang from the waterways.



Fact
It is generally thought that Aboriginal people began living on the Australian continent 50,000 to 60,000 years ago.
