Aboriginal art and culture

Postby Carme » Sun Nov 06, 2011 5:22 pm

Australian aboriginal culture seems to be born about 50,000 years ago. People of this period used pieces of haematite to prepare some paints.

The first time Europeans went to Australia was in 1770 and it was catastrophic for indigenous because Europeans transported with them some epidemic diseases that didn't exist in Australia.

A didgeridoo is a wind instrument that used and still do the Australian Aborigines.

Hello Carme, thanks for posting! 50 000 years ago? That is just unbelievably ancient. I wonder how the scientists know that. Can I help you with a couple of expressions?

Australian aboriginal culture seems to be born = AustraliaN (adjective) aboriginal culture seems to HAVE been born. seems to be refers to the present, seems to have been refers to the past.
it was catastrophic for indigenous PEOPLE. (Indigenous is an adjective, so it needs a noun)
a wind instrument that used and still do the Australian Aborigines = ...that is used BY the Australian aboriginees

Take care!
Pieter
