I just don't know how to answer that Cynicalninja.  What do you want me to say?  

The original inhabitants of Australia were a primitive people.  There are many good folk who consider coloured dots on bark to be of equal artistic value to a painting by say, Leonardo da Vinci. And who see a didgeridoo as of similar value to a stradivarius.  Hand marks on a rock as equivalent to the development of Chinese characters.  Etc. 

Personally I don't do inverse cultural cringe and have never been comfortable with political correctness.

There is value in primitive culture, of course, but ....

If you want to read a really silly book about the Australian aboriginal as "noble savage" - I recommend "Mutant Message Down Under".  I think it was a big hit in America.





 So I assume you don't have an opinion about the original aboriginal inhabitants of Australia then Aussiepam ?

Thats fair enough, its your forum !
