Australia is home to ancient and contemporary cultures, both fascinating to explore. Aboriginal culture is the oldest continuously living culture in the world, complete with rich traditions and storytelling that can be discovered and appreciated through various adventures and tours across the territories. The country’s dynamic modern culture is equally appealing, especially the contemporary arts scene that offers a vibrant mix of street art, boutique galleries and world-class museums.

Located in Campbell, a suburb of the Australian capital of Canberra, the Australian War Memorial provides a captivating glimpse into local and global history.

For more art in Canberra, visit the National Museum of Australia. Here, you’ll find the First Australians collection displayed over two floors, including the powerful Talking Blak to History exhibition.
Climbing the Sydney Harbour Bridge is an exhilarating way to indulge in breathtaking views of the city. The experience is heightened when you scale the summit of the bridge with a First Nations Storyteller as your guide on the Burrawa - Aboriginal Climb.

Afterward, you can tour the nearby Sydney Opera House — a UNESCO World Heritage Site and Australia’s most recognized cultural icon — to discover the history, architecture and extraordinary story of this magnificent structure.

Or take a scenic drive to the Gunbalanya Indigenous Community — enjoying breathtaking views of the Arnhem Land — to visit the Injalak Arts and Crafts Centre and experience the traditional culture of the Kunwinjku people.
