There is a wealth of secrets and mysteries to be unfolded when it
comes to the ancient Australian Aboriginal culture. This is one of the oldest
living culture of the world that dates back at least 50,000 years.
People today have begun to discover the unique pleasure of getting to
explore about this culture and lifestyle through the Aboriginal tours in
Australia.
You can visit the Northern territory to discover the places seeped in
Aboriginal history and tradition. The walk from Australia’s Red Centre
to the base of Uluru, with the help of an Anangu guide is going to be
truly enlightening.
You can also browse the Aboriginal art in Alice Springs. The Arrernte
people have lived here for 20,000 years. The intricate rock galleries
throughout Australia are going to provide you with a wealth of details
about the culture and the life of the Aborigines. You will also come to
know about how they have evolved since they first set foot in the
continent.
The Northern Territory
The Northern Territory is seeped in the history of the aborigines.
The landscape has a beautiful, yet rugged and foreboding quality to it
that gels beautifully with the history and tradition of the people. The
place is a melting pot for various cuisines and cultures, where you can
explore the Aboriginal rock art of World Heritage-listed Kakadu National
Park. You can also explore the rain forest of the area, while you stay
in the Red Centre of the town of Alice Springs.
Other things that you can explore while you are in the Northern
Territory are the wonders of Uluru-Kata Tjuta and Kings Canyon, the
cruise that you can take down the vast Katherine Gorge. You can also pan
for gold at Tennant Creek and look at a variety of wildlife and
colourful characters.
Australia's Red Centre
The majesty and the splendid isolated beauty of the Red Centre of
Australia are breathtaking. The red monolith at the centre of Australia
is scared to the Aborigines here. The monolith takes on various
spectacular colours during sunrise and sunset, making it a vision that
should not be missed if you are interested in Aboriginal tours of
Australia.
You can start your outback adventure at the heart of Red Centre in Alice
Springs, where you can join a safari, or peer into aboriginal tradition
with the help of their arts and other structures.
Undertaking the Aboriginal tours of Australia will be a truly life
changing experience that is meant to show how the culture of the
aboriginals have been passed on through the centuries – through their
art, music, myth, dance and through the rich heritage of the land
itself.

Dr ST Murray - I'm not sure where the reference comes from, but there's a lot of debate around exactly when the first people arrived in this country (some anthropologists claim up to 125,000, which throws doubt on the 'out of Africa' theory, but that's a different issue). I do know that we as a people are defined as 'the oldest surviving culture'. They've found burial sites, dated rock paintings and the like at up to 60,000 years old, which proves cultural practices have stayed the same here for that long. It's not about the age of our race, it's just that we've been practicing our culture for some 60,000 years unchanged (and yes there's debate around whether that's 60,000, 50,000 or even 40,000 years, but that would still make us the oldest culture by a long shot).
Frankly you saying you're 'interested in viewing' a tribe like that disturbs me. What you want to study us like lab rats? Been there, done that. How about you come to Australia and spend some time getting to know the peoples still doing what their ancestors have done for millenia? If it's anthropological proof you want though, you're going to have to read about it.
Oh and what Julie is incorrently referring to as the 'last tribe' has a basis in fact - 40 years ago there were a tribe of women who had no idea white men had come to this country. Wow, that's just so long ago isn't it? *rolls eyes* But there is a fantastic documentary about the experiences of these women and the white men who found them, some of whom are still alive today. Go to www.aiatsis.gov.au for more info on that, I think there's a book too. But please keep in mind that watching one documentary doesn't make you an expert...
some tribes try to keep living off the land today but they have to rely on hand-outs for which they've had to become dependent upon.
As an Aboriginal Australian, I myself often say that we are one of the oldest living cultures around. read this for some evidence:

surely false advertising and misinformation, where is the evidence? Where was this claim sourced from? Kalahari Sand tribesmen's language is over 100,000 years old, the Semang peoples of asia 70,000 years old .The tribesmen of any number of African tribes are living ancient cultures well over 70,000 years old.I would be interested in viewing any Australian Aboriginal tribes that are still existing who continue to live along ancient cultural practices..
