 Exploring with an Aboriginal Guide may challenge you to think differently. In Aboriginal culture, people and the
 land merge- they are part of each other. You’ll have the opportunity to view rock art painted thousands of
 years before the Egyptian pyramids were built and learn about the Dreamtime. The Dreamtime is the Aboriginal
 understanding of the world, of its creation and its great stories. You can also enjoy a historical journey at the
 Bunjilaka Aboriginal Cultural Centre at the Melbourne Museum, the First Australians exhibition in Canberra, or
 the spectacular theatre performance at Spirits of the Red Sand near Brisbane.
 The first known landing in Australia by Europeans was in 1606 by Dutch navigator Willem Janszoon. Other
 European navigators followed, but it wasn’t until 1770 that British explorer James Cook claimed the eastern part
 of Australia for the British Crown. You can tour a replica of Cook’s ship "Endeavour" at the Australian National
 Maritime Museum in Sydney and check out Cook’s first landing place at Botany Bay. Eighteen years after Cook’s
 landing, the first penal colony was established in New South Wales.
 The British Government sent ships carrying convicts to Australia and many were used as labourers in the newly
 formed colonies. This period was known as transportation, during which more than 160,000 men, women and
 children were brought over, usually in extremely harsh conditions. To learn more, take a tour of Freemantle prison
 near Perth, or listen to gruesome tales on the Isle of the Dead cemetery tour in Tasmania. Or if you’re on the
 east coast, take a walking tour around "The Rocks", the site of the first European settlement in Sydney to hear its
 stories of "murders, muggings and mysteries."
 Gold was first discovered in the mid-1800s, and the idea of becoming rich lured people from all over the country.
 People whosearchedforgold wereknownasprospectors. Agreatplacetostepbackintimeandexperiencewhat
 life was like for prospectors is Sovereign Hill, an open-air museum 1.5 hours west of Melbourne. There you can
 f
 indpeople dressed up in historical costumes, explore their replica homes and even pan for gold. You can also find
 out about bushrangers, who were escaped convicts in the early years of colonisation. The most notorious is Ned
 Kelly, who evaded capture for years. In Western Australia, a festival dedicated to a bushranger named Moondyne
 Joe takes place every year! Learn more on a guided walking tour in the Victorian town of Beechworth or former
 gold mining town of Canowindra in New South Wales.

 Jason:
 Well, if you’ve got plenty of time, consider renting a car and taking a road trip. But
 before you set off, especially if you’re going into the bush or the outback, fill up your
 tank and pop a spare container of fuel in the back of your car which you can fall back
 on if you need to. Most major roads are well signposted, but once you get into more
 remote outback areas you might end up on a dirt road! Or... how do you feel about
 long train rides?

 Jason:
 I personally love them!
 Well, in that case, you shouldn’t miss out on one of Australia’s epic train journeys. The
 Ghanistheworld’s longest north-south train journey, from Darwin to Adelaide. It lasts
 three days and takes in three diverse landscapes: the South Australian hills and plains,
 the rocky gorges of the Red Centre and finally the beautiful greenery of the Top End.
 Orthere’s also the Indian Pacific which takes youfromeasttowest, travelling between
 Sydney and Perth. If you travel eastbound, you’ll have the chance to stop in Australia’s
 largest outback settlement, Kargoorlie Boulder. Located in the eastern Goldfields, you
 might even be lucky enough to come across some gold!
 If you had to choose some must-see attractions for visitors, what would you
 recommend?
 So, first of all, I would say don’t leave without experiencing at least some Australian
 Aboriginal culture. Indigenous Australians have not always been treated well
 throughout history, but things have improved, and there are lots of opportunities to
 experience Aboriginal art, history and food, among other things. Secondly, it’s one of
 Australia’s most iconic landmarks...you guessed it...the Great Barrier reef. There are so
 many options available to explore this wonderful habitat, so make sure you do plenty
 of research to find one which suits your budget and abilities. It goes without saying,
 but Australia’s ecosystems are fragile, so make sure you respect our natural landscapes
 wherever you go. We, unfortunately, have many bushfires at certain times of year.
 Of course. Well, your ideas sound fantastic! Now we all love Australia’s marsupials,
 but I feel I have to mention the subject of Australia’s less cuddly creatures... spiders
 and snakes for example.
 (laughs) OK, there are a lot of myths surrounding Australia’s deadly animals. Yes, there
 are two species of potentially dangerous spider, but there are a few things I would
 point out. They will only attack when provoked, antidotes exist for bites from both,
 and nobody has died from a bite for over 40 years. So, ignore any spiders you see,
 avoid touching their webs, and shake your shoes before putting them on! The same
 goes for snakes really. Wear sensible shoes when hiking, and if you see a snake, back
 away very slowly, stamp your feet and make noise. This should scare it away.
 OK, thanks, Jason. I’ll keep your advice in mind and encourage our listeners to do the
 same. Thanks so much for talking to us today.
 Mypleasure!

 Islanders (who originate from Melanesia in the western Pacific, and have their own distinct culture).-The term Indigenous Australian can be used to refer to different Aboriginal Australian people and Torres Strait
 Islanders.-You may still hear the term Aborigine, but it is now generally seen as insensitive, and is not recommended.-Indigenous and Aboriginal should have capital letters when used to refer to people
