Take a look at the fifth issue of the Discover Aboriginal Experiences digital magazine “Connect to Country” which we are releasing to coincide with NAIDOC Week.  

In this edition we provide readers with a bucket list of experiences in areas so incredible that they have been recognised by UNESCO for their Outstanding Universal Value to Humanity.

We highlight Indigenous food experiences that combine a love of fine dining with an interest in Aboriginal cultures. Choose between dining in the world's oldest rainforest or watching the sun set on Uluru, or taste bush tucker delicacies as you cruise the clear waters of Queensland's Kabi Kabi people on a century-old wooden sailing ketch.

In our Upskill feature, readers will discover where you can recreate the distinctive X-ray painting style found in rock art galleries throughout the Top End, or the more contemporary dot painting techniques that began in the Central Desert in the 1970s.

We also feature Shona Davidson, one of the First Nation storytellers who lead guests on the Burrawa Aboriginal Climb Experience at Sydney Harbour.

Finally, we take a look at some of the survival skills developed by Aboriginal peoples over thousands of years – from lighting fires to crafting tools, hunting, making fish traps and using bush foods for their medicinal as well as nutritional properties.
