The word "walkabout" originally referred to when Aborigines would down tools from the white society in which they lived, in order to return to their own, traditional way of life. This is still often applied today, particularly in areas such as central Australia, where aboriginal children and adults will leave without warning. The more common modern application refers to when anyone who seeks an escape from society just goes on an extended holiday for awhile.
This is an aboriginal superstition; When a kookaburra laughs it is laughing at a magpie being burnt as punishment for eating kookaburra eggs. The story goes; the Nulla Nulla spirits threw the magpie (who was white) into the fire after eating all the eggs in the kookaburra nest. That is why the magpie is black and white today.
A:Cave paintings have been dated to between forty thousand and fifty thousand years old, indicating that aboriginal spirituality goes back that far.
