While most of these outdoor activities have dealt with animals, there are also many involving getting to know the people of Australia.

Australia's Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have an enormously diverse and complex culture that traces its roots back at least 40,000 years, making them one of the oldest societies on the planet. There are now many Aboriginal owned and operated enterprises that offer to help you explore this dramatically different world.

1) Dancers of the Forest – Outside of Cairns, the Tjapukai Aboriginal Cultural Park offers a multi-media experience using live theatre, music and holograms to create a stimulating depiction of traditional Aboriginal life.

2) Bangarra Dancers – The Sydney-based Bangarra Dance Theatre is an Aboriginal professional company that stages productions based on contemporary Aboriginal social themes.

3) Wentworth – This Murray River town hosts Harry Nanya Outback Cultural Tours. These Aboriginal-led tours of the Willandra Lakes and the Flinders Ranges will take you to some of Australia's oldest inhabited sites.

4) Aboriginal Art & Culture Center - Home to seven fascinating cultural attractions in the Red Center, the Alice Springs Cultural Precinct offers an Aboriginal perspective on visual arts, natural history, culture and European settlement.

5) Desert Discoverers - Owned and operated by the Pwerte Marnte Marnte Aboriginal Corporation, Aboriginal Desert Discovery Tours offers a unique perspective on the Alice Springs region through its various tours.
