'People are ready to listen': Aboriginal cultural tourism boom signals new era of reconciliation

After a childhood "hanging around the elders all the time", she has been a TAFE teacher for more than 35 years and worked with her siblings to revitalise the Dhurga language.

Ms Ellis has led groups from all corners of the world but is noticing a growing interest in Aboriginal culture among domestic travellers and locals. The national platform fills a gap for international visitors who have found it hard to find and book Aboriginal experiences when they visit Australia. But taking the first steps to realise a long-held dream of starting a tourism business has been daunting."Do I need a booking system, where will I run this, will I need an office?"

Mr Sculthorpe also welcomes the growing interest and respect for Aboriginal culture from within Australia.

Highly recommended it.

Not too much reconcilation going on around my neck of the woods. Indigenous running riot, robbing, bashing, stealing cars etc every night, all hours and that's just the 10 and 11 year olds! Not long now and they'll be the Elders were told to listen to!

Reconciliation, as we all know will never be allowed to happen. Manufactured guilt and division is too good a gravy train for the self serving public servants and non government organisations who grow fat from tax payer dollars to give up. 🙄

Oh, so don't like colonialism but capitalism is ok?

I hope it is being done by people who at least are and look Aboriginal and not white fakirs as they must puzzle the foreign tourists seeing people looking like themselves dancing around dressed like Aboriginals

No one, particularly at the ABC, is listening to stories of systemic domestic abuse, just to fairytales.

There can’t be reconciliation if only one side is allowed to speak.

'Ready to listen'? It seems to me we've been listening to indigenous rights activists for decades without much gain for average aborigines but much financial and political gain for the activists themselves.

Though that was done and dusted ABC..

Many people have been listening to Aboriginal stories for years ABC, do leave that bubble more often 👍

Listen to what exactly

People are ready to listen… Just not Peta Credlin.

You mean ' re-con-the- cilli- nation' 🙄

They're Australia's 'silent forgotten people' with no work rights, no Medicare and very little hopeA decade ago these men risked everything when they fled to Australia by boat — leaving wives, children and family behind in a bid to find a safer future for their loved ones. Now, years later, they languish, downhearted and in despair. They're not Australia's forgotten people. They are illegal immigrants rorting the system. Free food boxes, $400 from the Red Cross and a roof over their heads ? They are better off than many people on Jobseeker payments who pay rent, food and bills and have to contend with mutual obligations. drop island
