What does an archaeologist do? Do you know where the oldest boomerangs have been found in Australia? In Discovering Aboriginal Australia we discover amazing facts about Australia's human history as we journey through time. We also learn why sites or places are culturally significant and continue to be special to Aboriginal people today.
First Australians: Plenty Stories is a collaboration between the National Museum of Australia and Rigby to provide primary classrooms with a comprehensive resource to successfully implement Australian Indigenous studies.
