Songlines

How do you find your way around, get your food and drink, connect with your friends and family? How do you know the right and safe way to do things, or how to make things? Before colonisers came to the continents, Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples knew how to do all these things — and much, much more.

Margo Ngawa Neale and Lynne Kelly invite you on a journey through the oldest, biggest library of knowledge on Earth. This knowledge isn’t held in books: you will find it in Country by travelling across the Songlines of the land, sea and sky.

This innovative and inviting introduction to Indigenous traditional knowledges covers history, art, song, science and more. Find out what Songlines are, how they work, and how they can help all people thrive into the future.
