Australiaβs Hidden Highways π€―
Long before any European set foot on the continent, Aboriginal Australians were already expert navigators, traders, and diplomats.
They crossed vast deserts and sailed open seas, exchanging ochre, tools, stories, and ceremony with other clans and even with Makassan fishermen from modern-day Indonesia.
π Their "maps"?
The Songlines: sacred paths woven into song, dance, and memory. These were living GPS systems, guiding not just movement, but culture, law, and identity.
This wasnβt an isolated world.
It was a sophisticated, connected civilization; hidden in plain sight.
