Aboriginal art and culture

Postby Raquel » Wed Jun 08, 2016 6:08 pm

The Aboriginal culture dates between 62.000 and 75.000 years ago, when it is said that the Aborigines arrived to Asia from Africa and years after that they went to Australia.
The British arrived to Australia in the late eighteenth century, and in 1788 began the colonization. When colonizers arrived, the Aborigines became hostile to defend their resources.
The didgeridoo is a typical musical instrument typical of the Aborigines that is like a wooden tube.
Here in Spain, the first artistic manifestations date to the Palaeolithic, the cave painting of Altamira.
