A look at the historic civilisation and inventions of Indigenous Australians.

Sùil aotrom air eachdraidh: an-diugh, cultar is innleachdan Tùsanaich Astràilia. A look at the historic civilisation and inventions of Indigenous Australians.

Siubhail gu dùthaich sluagh tùsanach Astràilia cuide ri Calum, Kerry Anne agus na Sealgairean Spòrsail. San t-sreath tha fiosrachadh annasach, beò-dhealbhaidhean is clann a' rannsachadh buaidh innleachdan bho shean air ar saoghal an-diugh. Cha robh mòran uisge ri òl am meadhan Astràilia is dh'fheumadh Tùsanaich dòighean innleachdach a chleachdadh airson a lorg. An dèidh fras, sgrùdadh iad craobhan is planntraisean, fon talamh - àite sam bith a ghlacadh uisge. An-diugh tha na Sealgairean Spòrsail a' cleachdadh eòlas nan Tùsanach son uisge a lorg nan gàrradh, is a' dèanamh spong feòir gus nach càil iad boinneag. An àite aibidil bha Tùsanaich a' cleachdadh shamhlaidhean son fiosan a chur. An tèid aig na Sealgairean air conaltradh tro dhotagan air am peantadh air rùsg craoibhe? San stiùidio chì sinn ionnsramaidean traidiseanta leithid an didgeridoo a bh' air an cleachdadh còmhla ri seinn is dannsa ann am beul-aithris.

Explore one of the oldest living civilisations - the Australian Aboriginal people - as Calum, Kerry Anne and the History Hunters continue to bring history to life with fun facts, animations and experiments.

Aboriginal people had clever ways of finding drinking water in a climate without much rain. After a downpour, they searched trees, plants and underground for places where water collected. Today, our History Hunters investigate how to find water in their garden without a tap, and make a homemade grass sponge to save every drop.

With no alphabet or written words, Indigenous Australians used symbols to communicate. Can the History Hunters follow their lead with sand picture messages and dot paintings on bark? Meanwhile, Calum and Kerry Anne look at traditional instruments like the didgeridoo, clap sticks and leaves, which Aboriginal people used alongside singing and dancing to tell stories of their ancestors.
