Aboriginal Culture

Australia being the only continent that is also a country in its own has a very rich culture and history that is evident with the Aboriginal people whose history spreads back tens of thousands of years. This history as told from yesterday’s generation dating back to many centuries ago to the present generation has a fascinating culture and history that would interest any curious tourist who wants to understand where Australia has come from and its present situation. It is not just a story buried in museums books but one can get a taste of their cuisines, their crafted artwork, music and myths.

Their history includes colonization, how the indigenous people suffered and toiled under the hands of the colonialist, with many killed, women were raped and the unfair and unjust allocation of resources. It is important that a country keep an account of its history as they say, “history repeats itself”. This awful history and painful experience that the indigenous people went through has given us a lot of insight into  how the country has evolved to what it is today and it is our belief that such historical acts should never happen again. All this information is readily available at their National parks. One of such a national park is Kakadu National Park, which is Australia’s biggest national park.

There is certainly a lot for one to see besides just the history, one would be able to see the beautiful landscapes including the rainforest, the Aboriginal rock art, and iconic scenes of Uluru-Kata Tjuta, get to meet the original Aboriginal people of Bininj and Mungguy people and witness the migratory birds, which attracts many tourists. The things to see and experience are just to many and one needs to have a slice of the experience to fully comprehend why many tourists that have being there before keep coming back year after year.
