Aboriginal Australia

The Aboriginal people are nomadic communities speaking a rainbow of different languages, few of which have ever been recorded or researched.

Their lives changed forever 200 years ago with the arrival of European settlers. In Tasmania they were virtually wiped out, while in the major cities today - despite many possibly well-meaning attempts at integration - Aboriginal communities remain largely marginalised. Only in the past few years has recognition of their art and culture begun to surface in Australia.

We have chosen to work primarily with guides and Aboriginal groups who take small numbers of visitors into areas that would otherwise be inaccessible, where learning of their values and creation stories will add another layer to this already remarkable territory.
