Did you know? The Aboriginal rock art in Western Australia’s Dampier Archipelago is at least twice as old as the Pyramids of Egypt.

The didgeridoo, the world’s oldest wind instrument traditionally and is a purely Aboriginal invention. The didgeridoo is played by men in ceremony. A termite-hollowed didgeridoo tends to be wider in diameter at the bottom than the top, which creates unusual resonant frequencies.

The woomera is another Aboriginal invention that uses leverage to allow a spear to be thrown up to x3 further. Typically, the woomera was made by shaping a piece of hardwood into a long, thin handle and attaching a stone to the base to hold a spear-end in place.

Aboriginal fish traps are thought to be up to 40,000 years old and demonstrated a sophisticated understanding of engineering, physics and aquaculture in the design of elaborate stone fish traps in NSW and the 100 sq.km eel farm at Lake Condah in Victoria.

The Coolgardie Safe, which used capillary action and evaporative cooling to keep food from spoiling, was the ‘household fridge’ of Australia from the 1890s. It is thought to have been inspired by watching Aboriginal people carry water in special bags made of wallaby skin.

Next time anyone tries to bullshit you that renewables make electricity more expensive? SA now has the cheapest electricity in the nation... thanks to wind + solar. And their power will only get _cheaper_ from here. The future will not be gas or coal. reneweconomy.com.au/world-first-so…

Aboriginal people made a thermoplastic resin from porcupine grass and grass trees. They beat the resin out of the grass, cleaned it and heated it over fire to create a sticky substance. The resulting resin hardened as it cooled and was strong enough to bind rock to wood for tools

David Unaipon was a proud Ngarrindjeri man who is famous for his inventions, most prominently an improved mechanical sheep shearing hand tool. He applied for patents for as many as nineteen inventions and conceptualized the helicopter 22 years before it became a reality.

Our #Adelaide city campus was absolutely buzzing this morning with another wonderful Aboriginal art workshop with Marra Dreaming and a #NRW2022 morning tea. Students and staff learnt about traditional art and were able to contribute to a community piece. ❤💛🖤

I’m pretty happy with this, and I’d be grateful if anyone can RT. About 20 minutes, but not a bad description of what I stand for, and what the Govt stands for. Only one of us can be right. This week we’ll find out. #auspol youtu.be/56cleIKdt0c

We're putting the final touches on our 2022 Annual Report ready for this weekend's AGM, and it's been so inspiring to look back on 10 years of youth110. What a journey it's been - especially for the young people who've called youth110 home along the way. 💜

It's fantastic to be part of a movement delivering such great outcomes for young people. Foyer Port Adelaide has been housing and helping young people in SA for over a decade - we know how well the Foyer model works! #BuildMoreFoyers #FoyersChangeLives #50by2030

The Federal Court formally recognises the #NativeTitle claim spanning 1000s of kms in regional SA as the #Wilyakali people's traditional homelands. The claim covers a stretch of pastoral land and several small townships along the Barrier Highway. 👏🏿 👉🏾 ow.ly/ecyE50PFLZ1.
