Tùsanaich Astràilia

Explore one of the oldest living civilisations - the Australian Aboriginal people - as Calum, Kerry Anne and the History Hunters continue to bring history to life with fun facts, animations and experiments.

Aboriginal people had clever ways of finding drinking water in a climate without much rain. After a downpour, they searched trees, plants and underground for places where water collected. Today, our History Hunters investigate how to find water in their garden without a tap, and make a homemade grass sponge to save every drop.

With no alphabet or written words, Indigenous Australians used symbols to communicate. Can the History Hunters follow their lead with sand picture messages and dot paintings on bark? Meanwhile, Calum and Kerry Anne look at traditional instruments like the didgeridoo, clap sticks and leaves, which Aboriginal people used alongside singing and dancing to tell stories of their ancestors.
