Well I've recently met two Australian girls who have done a lot of work with the Aboriginal people. Their situation among them was to make sure they came to work help in times of domestic violence and basically all around hard times. I wasn't aware of the apparent struggle! But the Aboriginal walkabouts still amaze me und ich kann nicht bis mein warten baby!! |

I'm always impressed about their interaction with the nature. The aboriginal culture is mystical and opens a window to spiritual developing. |

I have read about the aboriginal people and their culture my impression is that they are an enlightened culture and their connectedness to Mother Earth and father sky is vast. There is much to learn from their history and culture. |

I have always been fascinated with Australia. I was in the 5th grade and had the honor of doing a paper one Australia and the history of aboriginal tribes I just fell in love from that day forward. I hope one day to bring my family for a visit when we can afford it of course. |

My overall impression was that they aren't different from anybody else really. They are a human being just like every body else. Their culture is very interesting and really in tune with the earth. I also love their language. |

I was born in Australia but was brought over to the United States at 9 months of age. My mother told me that the Aborigines were quite remarkable and amazing but I have never been back to Australia to meet them -- I would love to do so. |

Being of Aboriginal ancestry (gundungurra nation) I see Aboriginal people in a positive light. Oppressed people with many stuck in a cycle of poverty though hold a deep connection to the land and flora and fauna and many elders a wise and gentle bunch. |

I'm afraid there aren't many Australian Aboriginal people in South Florida so I've never had the chance to meet any. My perceptions are based mostly on what I've read in National Geographic and how they've been portrayed in movies. My opinion is that they are good-hearted spiritual people. From my readings it would seem they share a socio-economically disadvantaged situation similar to some of the United State's Native and Black Americans. |

I think the Australian Aborigines are a very unique group of people. Their costumes and beliefs are also unique as well as their art. |
