| Summary |
Australia has some of the most unusual place names you'll come across. Many places were given traditional names by First Nations people thousands of years ago and these names became part of the first peoples' culture and identity. Find out how the arrival of the British settlers impacted these sacred places and how traditional place names are now being resurrected in many parts of Australia. |
