Some of the most well-known cultural heritage of Australian aborigines today are the throwing of boomerangs, fascinating Dreamtime paintings and wind musical instruments.
Boomerang is a special art of throwing a stick of which its name - ‘boomerang’ was originally derived from Australian aborigines. Today it is no more used for hunting or warfare as it used to be.
Story telling and totem representation feature prominently in all forms of aboriginal artwork and traditionally, almost always have a mythological undertone relating to Dreamtime of Australian Aborigines. Dreamtime refers to the beginning of the world where ‘Ancestors’ rose from below the earth to form various parts of nature including animal species, bodies of water and the sky. |
