The Truth Behind Modern Aboriginal Ceremonies!
— By; Jacinta Yangapi
Nampijinpa Price..
Many people assume that certain Aboriginal cultural practices, such as dot painting and Welcome to Country ceremonies, have been passed down for tens of thousands of years. Recent Welcome To Country Ceremonies have even suggested figures as high as 250,000 years. However, historical evidence suggests that these traditions were actually developed in recent decades.
• Dot Painting was invented in 1971 by Geoffrey Bardon, a white schoolteacher, who introduced the technique to Aboriginal artists in Papunya. Traditional Aboriginal art existed long before this, but there are no ancient dot paintings found in caves or on rock walls. The distinctive modern style emerged as part of a contemporary art movement.
• The Welcome to Country ceremony was created in 1976 by Ernie Dingo and Richard Walley. It was originally performed to welcome visiting Māori performers as a reciprocal gesture of hospitality. Unlike the Māori haka, which has deep historical and linguistic roots, there is no traditional Aboriginal word for Welcome to Country. This raises the question: How can it be an “ancient ceremony” if no term for it existed in traditional Aboriginal languages?
• The Acknowledgement of Country was introduced even later, in the 1990s. It is not an ancient ritual but rather a modern protocol developed for official and corporate settings.
• The Smoking Ceremony, often presented as an ancient practice, is another modern invention, also linked to Ernie Dingo around 1976. While smoke was used in some Indigenous customs for cleansing or healing, the formalized smoking ceremonies seen today were not widely practiced before the late 20th century.
• There is no photographic, film, or video evidence of any of these ceremonies being performed at major events—such as Royal Tours, AFL/NRL Grand Finals, the 1956 Melbourne Olympics, or ANZAC Day services—before the 1970s and 1990s. If these traditions were truly ancient and widespread, they would have been documented in historical footage and in historical manuscript and observations by the many early explorers, historians and observers. There is no evidence that these practices were ever part of my cultural history.
The Importance of Truth Over Myth
Understanding history honestly is essential. While cultural traditions evolve over time, it is misleading to claim that recent inventions are ancient practices. Rather than accepting myths at face value, we should question divisive offensive narratives that are presented as historical fact.

🚨 BREAKING: Top Ten Aussie Pubs That Should Be UNESCO Heritage Sites
Alright you bloody legends — get your stubbies ready, because this one’s gonna be a booze-scented, err retro masterpiece!
Buzzcut-Style Intro
Ever walked into a pub and thought: “Crikey, this place is older than your grandad’s jocks!”? These aren’t just pubs — they’re time machines that keep pouring, even when the world around ‘em changes faster than a politician’s excuse. If UNESCO was smart, they'd slap heritage status on these beauties quicker than you can say “stubby holder.” Grab a slab and a seat — here’s to the true national treasures.
1. Hope & Anchor Tavern — Hobart, TAS
A pub older than your great-great-great-grandpa’s surname. Established around 1807 (originally named The Whale Fishery), this Georgian gem is pretty much Australia’s oldest licensed pub, slinging pints through colonial eras and convicts alike.
2. The Bush Inn — New Norfolk, TAS
Two centuries of tankards and tangents. Opening its doors in 1815, this pub claims the crown for continuous operation. Dame Nellie Melba even belted out some opera there in 1924 — a pint and a high C, mate.
3. Lord Nelson Hotel — Sydney, NSW
Built back when convicts weren’t cancelled yet. Going since 1814-ish, this remains the oldest running licensed pub in Sydney. Every brick, every drop of beer, soaked in colonial sweat and stories.
4. Hero of Waterloo Hotel — Sydney, NSW
Where Rum Rebellion vibes meet your lager. Established in 1843–44, this colonial relic is heritage-listed and has seen more whiskies than the Rocks has tourists.
5. Surveyor General Inn — Berrima, NSW
Where bushrangers probably kept the peace… after a pint. Operating since 1834, this sandstone survivor saw off bushrangers like Captain Thunderbolt while still pouring ale by candlelight.
6. The Nindigully Pub — QLD Outback
5.5 kg burgers, VHS flick sets, and no pretension. Famous for its giant “Road Train” burger and as the backdrop for Paperback Hero, this pub tells you you’ve landed in real Australia.
7. North Gregory Hotel — Winton, QLD
Birthplace of Australia’s unofficial anthem. Dating from 1879, it’s the first pub to hear Waltzing Matilda in public — exclamation point on our cultural story.
8. Silverton Hotel — NSW Outback
Mad Max meets ancient pub lore. A film-set favourite made iconic by its saloon-style charm and desert spirit — enough swag to warrant its own Hollywood agent.
9. The Mitre Tavern — Melbourne, VIC
Where the walls whisper Victorian secrets. Melbourne’s oldest building still in use (since the 1830s), its wooden beams echo the clinking of settlers’ schooners. You can almost catch a ghost lingering near the mirror. And one day I will probably be keeping it company forever.
10. Young & Jackson — Melbourne, VIC
Art, booze, and scandal all in one patch of carpet. Since 1861, this corner pub near Flinders Station has hosted celebrities, a famed nude painting "Chloe," and more dramas than a laté-fuelled book-club.
Faux “Woke Outrage” Closer
Now watch the woke brigade clutch their soy lattes and cry foul: “You’re ignoring… the destruction of religious monuments!” they’ll roar. “This is capitalist heritage appropriation!” they’ll holler.
While they’re ranting, we’ll be full-throated, pints in hand, laughing in these pubs that carry our legends, our laughs, and our bones. We ain’t tourists — we’re custodians of true Aussie heritage.
Bottom of the Glass Thought
These pubs aren’t just brick and mortar — they’re living memory, communion halls for the common bloke, and Aussie roots on tap. If Australia ever forgets its heritage, remind ‘em it was discovered behind the bar in a tinny-tin 19th-century hotel.
Hope you enjoyed that as much as I did punters. Feel free to share my stuff if you get a kick out of it. I don’t get any royalties, it’s all about keeping our history, traditions and culture alive for me.
God bless Australia and all who wish us no harm!
Cheers,
Senator Papahatziharalambrous
