Australian Aborigines have the oldest and continuous culture.


More than 50 European ships made landfall on Australian soil between 1520 and 1770 and reported that it was inhabited by Indigenous people. Recent evidence show that it was the Portuguese to arrive in Australia First.

With interviews and comments from Journalist & Writer, Peter Trickett; and archaeologist Daryl Guse, Kulasegaram Sanchayan presents the interaction the First Australians had with early European visitors.
