We are a lucky country, abundant with natural resources, clean air and one of the best coastlines in the world. We are also blessed to have the original owners of our land, Aboriginal Australians and Torres Strait Islanders, being celebrated and recognised as the traditional custodians of this land we love so much. If you are seeking a closer connection to this country’s history, Indigenous Tourism in Australia is something you should consider for your next getaway. According to Tourism Australia’s Chief Marketing Officer Susan Coghill, “Tourism is one of the most impactful ways for Australians (and people from all around the world, in non-pandemic times) to connect with country and share in tens of thousands of years of storytelling and millions of years of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander history on this land.” If you are wanting to have a more insightful and cultural experience for your next domestic getaway, as well as contribute to various local communities, an Aboriginal guided tour or tourism business is definitely the way to experience Australia. Below is a taste of some fantastic guided tours, which we hope will entice your curiosity but before we get into the list, please remember to check for any developments with domestic travel restrictions.
