Fun Fact:
Australia’s First Nations cultures are among the oldest continuous living cultures in the world, dating back at least 65,000 years. Across the continent, hundreds of distinct language groups and cultural traditions developed, many of which are still actively practised today. Modern festivals, guided experiences, and community-run cultural centres allow visitors to learn directly from Traditional Owners, offering insights into land management, storytelling, art, and deep spiritual connections to Country.
