Robyn Williams narrates this history of First Nations peoples in Australia and the archaeological discoveries that have pieced together this history. Since the 1960’s our knowledge of the length of human occupation in the Australian continent has greatly increased, and it is now recognised that First Nations peoples in Australia are inheritors of the longest surviving culture in the world.
