Curriculum Information Year Learning and Assessment (Time, Continuity and Change/Culture and Identity) 6 Aboriginal Culture - An Ancient Civilisation 7 Combining Cultures - Defines Australia Description Australia’s Aboriginal heritage is one of the oldest in the world. Aboriginal people have occupied Australia from around 40,000 to 60,000 years ago. Prior to European arrival Aborigines lived in tribes and clans, their Country or territorial boundaries marked by geographical features of the area such as rivers and mountains. While sharing much in common, the land influenced each group’s distinct culture and heritage and gave rise to an extraordinary diversity among groups across the continent. For example, there were between 200 and 250 spoken languages with more than 700 recorded dialects. Aboriginal people attribute their survival to living ‘as part of the land’ rather than ‘on the land’. This deep connection with the environment enabled them to observe and adapt to changing conditions. During the last 60,000 years Australian Aborigines survived a major ice age and several other periods of climate change. All groups hunted and gathered their food, using tools fashioned from rocks, trees and plants. There was no written Aboriginal language. Traditions and histories were passed from one generation to the next through story telling, art and dance. Aborigines expressed art in many ways: through their dance and by painting their bodies to depict characters of The Dreaming, animals and events; through rock paintings, stencils and drawings; and as adornment to their instruments, tools and shields. They used ochre, a rock that is heavily enriched with iron oxide, to make paint. The ochre was ground into a powder and mixed with binding agents such as saliva, blood or animal fat. It was applied either by blowing it as a fine spray from the mouth, using a sharp or flattened end of a stick, or the fingers and hands. Another form of rock art involved engraving surfaces by pecking, grinding and abrading. Aboriginal art is often geometric. Circles, lines and dots were and still are commonly used along with figurative illustrations such as human and animal shapes, boomerangs and other tools, and animal tracks.
