Australia is home to ancient and contemporary cultures, both fascinating to explore. Aboriginal culture is the oldest continuously living culture in the world, complete with rich traditions and storytelling that can be discovered and appreciated through various adventures and tours across the territories. The country’s dynamic modern culture is equally appealing, especially the contemporary arts scene that offers a vibrant mix of street art, boutique galleries and world-class museums.
Check out the featured experiences below, and then contact our agency to plan an Australia travel experience that involves these and many more. We have partnerships with trusted companies throughout Australia, and we can create a vacation that is perfectly suited for your tastes, dreams and budget.
Located in Campbell, a suburb of the Australian capital of Canberra, the Australian War Memorial provides a captivating glimpse into local and global history. Its Aboriginal and Torres Strait art collection features more than 140 pieces, giving these artists the opportunity for truth-telling, healing and interpretation of the history of military service and experiences of Indigenous Australians. For more art in Canberra, visit the National Museum of Australia. Here, you’ll find the First Australians collection displayed over two floors, including the powerful Talking Blak to History exhibition.
Climbing the Sydney Harbour Bridge is an exhilarating way to indulge in breathtaking views of the city. The experience is heightened when you scale the summit of the bridge with a First Nations Storyteller as your guide on the Burrawa - Aboriginal Climb. With Burrawa — a local Aboriginal word that means “above” or “upward”— you can experience unrivalled views of the Indigenous landmarks around Sydney Harbour, including Bennelong and Barangaroo, while hearing the stories of Australia’s First Nations people. Afterward, you can tour the nearby Sydney Opera House — a UNESCO World Heritage Site and Australia’s most recognized cultural icon — to discover the history, architecture and extraordinary story of this magnificent structure.
In the Northern Territory, home to Kakadu National Park and the mighty monolith of Uluru, more cultural immersion awaits. At the Kuniya Walk at Uluru, gain deep insights into traditional Anangu culture during a guided tour of the beautiful works of art depicting Creation stories in the family cave. Or take a scenic drive to the Gunbalanya Indigenous Community — enjoying breathtaking views of the Arnhem Land — to visit the Injalak Arts and Crafts Centre and experience the traditional culture of the Kunwinjku people.
After enjoying the many treasures of Queensland — such as the Great Barrier Reef, the Gold Coast and Daintree National Park, the world's oldest tropical rainforest — check out the Queensland Art Gallery | Gallery of Modern Art (QAGOMA) in Brisbane. Bringing together art from different times and across cultures, QAGOMA’s Australian Art Collection captures major historical moments from first contact to colonization and exploration to immigration. Bringing the Indigenous and contemporary Australian collections together, this display emphasizes stories about Queensland and Brisbane from the region’s own perspective.
