Australia - People: Aborigines
Aborigines playing the didgeridoo
Aborigines are Australia's first or indigenous people. They make up 2% of Australia's population today. The indigenous Australians are said to be direct descendants of migrants from Africa who left the African continent about 75,000 years ago. They have migrated over the Australasian continent until they settled in Australia around 60,000 years ago.

Today indigenous people live in all main cities but most of them still live in the desert areas of the Australian outback. On the image above, you can see a man playing the didgeridoo, a kind of wooden trumpet, which is really difficult to play.

The 'outback' is the vast, dry and remote inland parts of the Australian continent. Some aboriginal people live still in the sacred area around Ayres Rock, a huge rock formation in the center of the continent. They are highly skilled in arts and crafts and share with visitors their vast knowledge about the land and the environment.

Uluru or Ayers Rock in Australia
Ayers Rock or Uluru as the rock formation is called by the Aborigines
The indigenous people call this sacred mountain 'Uluru'. They also settle in the Northern Territory in Kakadu National Park, which they call 'Arnhem Land', the land of their ancestors.

What it's like trekking the Jatbula Trail

Ever considered walking along the Jatbula Trail?
This breathtaking Top End adventure is one of the most popular walking trails with our travellers. Spend your mornings walking between 10-15kms each day, with afternoons relaxing by the crystal clear waterholes along the trail.
The Arnhem Land escarpment is an exceptional wilderness area which winds its way along the edge of Katherine Gorge (Nitmiluk) to Edith Falls (Leliyn) creating a truly extraordinary hiking experience. The Jatbula Trail in the Nitmilik National Park features magnificent waterfalls tumbling from high quartzite cliffs where shady monsoon forests line the creeks and stunning Jawoyn Aboriginal rock art adorns the caves and overhangs.

This full pack carrying bushwalk traverses the heart of this amazing part of Australia. You will trek during the cooler months to ensure the best experience of the tropical environment. With crystal-clear creeks throughout, there are abundant opportunities for swimming and just relaxing in the warm croc-free waters.

Combine this trek with a Katherine River Canoe Expedition for the complete Top End wilderness experience.
