Sydney: An Area Rich In Tradition And Culture

So many people travel to Sydney to see the Opera House and walk the streets of this lovely city. It is a tourist attraction most people have either visited, will visit, or at the very least have on their list of lifetime accomplishments. Most find upon arriving that Sydney is not only a wonderful holiday destination but an area that is rich in tradition and culture. Essentially Sydney is a historical wonderland.

There are two different peoples whose culture stands throughout the region. Aborigines and Torres Strait Islanders are the two groups and there are many different attractions you can visit while you are in Sydney that can help you truly experience all the history that is contained across Australia.

Cadigal Place is a wonderful gallery which is dedicated to the indigenous people of Australia and in particular those that originate in the region of Port Jackson. This is a museum that allows a full Aboriginal experience during which you can really see the differences in their art and culture, before and after their contact with other groups. Cadigal Place, at the Museum of Sydney, is a place to explore the traditional life of the original people of Australia.

If you are looking for an adventurous way to learn more about the original cultures of Australia , then you will most definitely want to hop aboard the Deerubbun. This is a Harbor cruise that allows you to ride aboard with the crew from the Tribal Warrior and learn more about the world and history from an aboriginal perspective. The Aboriginal Harbor Cruise is known as the Bangabaoui and works in association with Sydney Learning Adventures and the Tribal Warrior Association to provide these cruises. Cruises are intended for groups and are extremely educational.

Of course, there are many other Aboriginal displays and attractions throughout the Sydney region including The Rocks Discovery Museum, the Edge of Trees public art display, the Yiribana Gallery, and the Yaama Dhiyaan. Most of the Aboriginal attractions are open to the public and offer free admission a welcoming break for tourists who are looking for fun on a budget as well as an enlightening experience about the history of this fine region.

There is a lot of enjoyment to be had on a holiday to Sydney and some of the best events and attractions are not only educational but free as well. No matter what you choose to see on your Sydney vacation this holiday will certainly be a memorable one.
