Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander

Queensland is the only state in Australia that is home to both of our Indigenous Cultures - Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

Archeological evidence has proved that Aboriginal people have called Australia home for more than 40,000 years making their’s the world’s oldest continual culture! They are spiritual people with strong links to the land that are evident in their “Dreamtime” stories that explain the creation of earth and their environment.

Queensland offers a variety of experiences and insights into both the traditional and modern lifestyles of Indigenous people. Learn about the secrets of the rainforest; join a guided tour to find out about plants that are used as food (called “bush tucker”) or medicine; compare ancient rock art to modern Indigenous art or work side-by-side with Indigenous rangers at a turtle conservation camp.
