Culture is culture. And NSW has culture, as does the NT, and WA, and Qld, the Torres Strait, SA, Vic and Tas… and by all means, experience them all, support Indigenous tourism in all of these places, but don’t come back home and think you’ve just experienced ‘the real Aboriginal culture’ when you haven’t even bothered to learn about the people and lands you currently live on.

Culture, science and education are three of my key passions and have been as long as I can remember. To me, these are a logical combination – culture provides the lens through which we see the world, science the knowledge, and education how we share both.
