Udbredelse
Kort over australske aborigines områder.

Aboriginere er Australiens oprindelige folk. I 1700-tallet blev betegnelsen dannet ud fra latin ab origine, "fra begyndelsen" og betyder "oprindelige indbyggere".

Der var ca. 410.000 aboriginere i Australien (2001). Aboriginere har levet der i omkring 50.000 år. Tungepiercinger er en del af deres hellige ritualer. De skal gøre indtryk på de usynlige ånder. Piercinger var midlertidige og ikke smykker, og vi ved ikke, hvornår ritualet begyndte. Nogen mener, at de var nogle af de første i verden. De bruges også som overgangsritualer. Det er almindeligt, at unge mænd får en septum-piercing, som tegn på at de er blevet voksne. Nogle kvinder får samme piercing.

Ud over deres unikke kunst og udsmykning var deres livsstil enestående. Aboriginerne vandrede fra et område til et andet, når det første var "tømt" for kænguruer, øgler, fugle og rødder og planter. Nogle stammer brænder markerne af, så asken gøder, til de vender tilbage. De kan blive fra en uge til flere år i samme område.

Flag of the Northern Territory.svg
The flag of the Northern Territory (adopted on July 1, 1978 on the first day of self-government) was designed by the Australian artist Robert Ingpen, of Drysdale Victoria, after consultation with members of the community at the invitation of the Northern Territory Government. The flag incorporates the three official Territorian colours of black, white and ochre and is divided into two panels, black at the hoist side taking up one third the length of the flag while the remainder is equal to two third the length of the flag in ochre. The black panel display the five white stars that form the constellation of the Southern Cross, using the Victorian configuration of the Southern Cross with stars having between five to eight points. The flag also features the official Northern Territory floral emblem on the red ochre panel, a stylisation of the Sturt's Desert Rose, which uses seven petals encircling a seven-pointed black star of the federation in the centre. The seven petals symbolises the six Australian states plus the Northern Territory. The Northern Territory Flag was the first official flag that did not contain the Union Jack.
