Awaye Flat Presentation (Desert Park Alice Springs NT - 23/7)

The so-called Awaye Flat Presentation started at 11am and it was about the
aboriginal survival in the desert which sounded very interesting to us. So
here we were listing to our guide Doug who had his presentation table full
of different tools and traditional weapons. On this map he showed us that
there existed 250 different countries of aboriginal people in Australia
before the Europeans arrived. Every of this countries had is own language.
In former times these kind of maps were not seen in schools because nobody
was allowed to teach about the aboriginal culture. Fortunately this changed
and a lot of people are interested to get to know more about the traditional
owners of this continent.
