This is not Perth. In fact it is my ABORIGINAL PAGE, one of the most interesting culture in Aussie. The only reason I placed this under the Perth page is that there is not a link on VT to AYERS ROCK.

Aboriginal Languages of Australia
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Languages

There are more than 200 Australian Indigenous languages, most of which have been destroyed or live in the memories of the elderly; some of these languages are being revived by their communities. However, all Australian languages are endangered. This site has links resources for about 15 languages. About 30% of these resources are produced by Indigenous people.

ABORIGINAL FINE ARTS
GALLERY

Aboriginal paintings are the oldest living art tradition in the
world and yet represents one of the most fascinating and popular
art investments to date.
"The Australian Aboriginals see themselves as the custodians of
this country. Their dreaming is not just of the land, but of the
song, dance and mythology of the land. The paintings we see on
canvas today were originally painted in the sand and only lasted
until the wind blew. Canvas is durable and has given the world a
chance to learn about the Aboriginals' 'dreaming', their way of
life and values. (Malcolm Jagamarra)

ABORIGINAL ART
has now taken its place in the collections of the great museums
and galleries around the world and is widely sought after.
Rich and complex beliefs embodied in the Dreaming are expressed in
art with many layers of meaning that reflects a unique world-view.
Present day enthusiasm for Aboriginal art testifies to its
persistent dynamism and vitality.
Dreamings is a European term used by Aborigines to describe the
stories about religious or spiritual beliefs, the natural and
moral order of the universe, from the beginning of Creation to the
present.
