Aboriginal culture is rich with traditional stories known as Dreamtime or Dreaming stories, which explain the creation of the world, the land, and its people. These narratives are often conveyed through oral storytelling, dance, art, and song, incorporating elements of spirituality and connection to the environment. Traditional art forms, such as dot painting and bark painting, often depict these stories, representing ancestral beings and their journeys. Music, including the use of instruments like the didgeridoo, plays a vital role in ceremonies and storytelling, reinforcing cultural identity and continuity.
