Travel to places where people lead traditional lives? |
Travel Info Travel to places where people lead traditional lives? Travel Tips This is the closest you are going to get http://www.aboriginalaustralia.com.au/mi... I strongest suggest this tour! Not only do you get to explore Uluru (aryes Rock) but Cassidy Uluru, traditional owner is a senior guide, in fact they are all aboriginal guides. They will teach you about their way of life. Uluru is located 465 kilometres by road south west from Alice Springs, NT. IF you happen to be in Cairns, North Queensland there is a great Aboriginal cultural park - worth a visit http://www.tjapukai.com.au You can even get to throw a boomerang and spears. Enjoy your time here. --- EDIT --- My man just got home and he is aboriginal. He tells me no aborignal leads 'traditional lives' anymore, but best bet or close enough to it is up near Darwin way... or do the tour as suggested above. Others I would suggest the Northern Territory as there are still people living traditional lives in the outback there. Also perhaps in The Kimberley Region of Western Australia...but the NT is probably your best bet. I don't know how many people still live 100% traditional lives...perhaps it is none but there are definately some communities with many traditional aspects left. Good luck. Sorry, they do not exist, and even if they did they would usually not want you there. Most aboriginal reserves are restricted entry areas and you will need the permission of the local people to enter. There are no aboriginal people living "traditional lives" in Australia, the last group came in from the bush sometime in the 1950s and consisted of about seven people. There are many Aboriginal groups in northern and central Australia that speak their own languages with English as a third or fourth language. Many of these groups do continue some of their traditional practices but spectators are not usually invited or welcome. You will need written permission from the people themselves to go onto any Aboriginal land apart from designated roads and stopping places. Many of the traditional rites are restricted to men or women and may not be viewed or heard by the other sex or uninitiated males. Here's something that may interest you. There are others. Yamuloong Bush Tucker Tours Yamuloong is an Aboriginal owned and managed company and is located on the land of the Awabakal people in the Hunter Valley. You can learn about the Aboriginal culture and history of our indigenous people when you visit the centre. Located an an idyllic setting, our centre offers children and adults the opportunity to learn about Aboriginal culture and survival methods. http://www.check-in.com.au/hunter/yamulo... |
