This time we are suppose to write about something that has happened historical. Unfortunately I've already written about the most important; the aborigines and how other men came to Australia. But I thought I could write some more about the culture of the aborigines.
The Aborigonal religion is based on a creation story called The Dreaming. They believe that the world was just a shapless mass at the beginning of time. The ancestors came to Australia. They could be transformed into different shapes and as they went across the landscape they created new life.
The Australians have got prejudices about aborigines. That's sad, because they do not have the same rights as an ordinary australian. Recently an aboriginal woman was voted into the parliament of Australia. Some progress but still a long way to go...
Here is some art made by the aborigines.
