If There's Aboriginal Dancing, It Must Be Sunday at Sydney's Australian Museum

Tuesday September 25, 2007
Not too many know it, but on Sundays at noon there's didgeridoo playing and Aboriginal dancing at Sydney's Australian Museum.

It's surprising what one finds at the museums. At the Australian Museum, aside from dinosaur bones and such, the Indigenous Australians exhibition on Level G provides an insight into Australia's Aboriginal life and culture, a subject of interest to visitors to Australia. And there's the dancing and the didgeridoo, too.

Then, of course, there are the exhibitions of Australian minerals and gemstones, as well as of Australia's megafauna and insects and spiders, some of which have acquired the deserved reputation of being poisonous and lethal.

Just alongside the eastern edge of Hyde Park, it's so easy to walk to the Australian Museum from the heart of the city. Or take the train to Museum station on the City Circle route and walk. Photo: Aboriginal dancer at the Australian Museum © Australian Museum
