A vast country
NOT IN THE TEST This part is worth reading, but the citizenship test never asks about it.
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have a special relationship with the land. They have always valued contact with their neighbours and travel large distances to meet. The ‘song-lines’ of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are stories that link traditional law, history and culture with geography, stretching across different cultural and language groups right across Australia. They have been maintained and practised for thousands of years.
In many parts of Australia, people have limited access to services, such as schools, health services and shops, that other Australians take for granted. We work together to support people living in remote communities. Notable Australians have helped solve problems of remoteness through ingenuity and innovation.
