Aborigines are the original people of Australia. Aborigines spend their time
telling myths, making music, singing songs, dancing, and making visual arts.
Their art work included rock painting and bark painting. They also painted designs
on objects, such as shields, paintings, on canvas, and bark. Aboriginal art
work is known world wide.
Aboriginal painting is unique in both subjects matter and style. Styles of art
and the materials used to make it differ from region to region. Each year, at
the end of the dry season, some paintings are restored by retracing outlines
of animals. Today Aborigines would like to win government recognition for their
land titles, achieve social equality, preserve their identity and heritage,
and elect more legislators to the Australia parliament. Aboriginal Wall Art
is made by white chalk. Australia is covered with handprints and a collection
of figures: skeletal fish, darting kangaroo and people on horseback.
Australia is called the Land Down Under because it’s below the equator.
The first people to live in Australia were Aborigines.
Australia is made up of six states, and two territories. 18.3 million people
live there. Canberra is the wonderful capital of Australia.
The weather in Australia is warm and pleasant. The warmest months in Australia
happen when were having winter in United States. Jan. Feb. are the warmest.
