Despite the impact of European culture, aboriginal art flourishes. There are numerous art galleries, museums, places and cultural centres around the country that are well worth a visit.
There are Aboriginal Cultural Centres in Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra, Perth, Adelaide, Darwin, Brisbane and scattered throughout the States. Visit one or more of these centres for a unique look at Australia, its life, history, art and culture.
