Meet Australia’s ultimate storytellers

A primary means of passing on knowledge over generations, storytelling plays a key role in Aboriginal cultures. And no one can tell a story quite like Aboriginal guides, who are renowned for bringing ancestral stories to life, often with a hearty dose of humour.  

Connect more deeply with Australia

Aboriginal guides have deep ancestral connections to the land, sea and waters of the Australian continent dating back more than 65,000 years, affording them a unique ability to interpret Australia in a way that other guides simply can’t.
