This is an absolutely amazing piece of work - the ABC spent five years (!) working on this interactive feature that brings together First Nations oral histories spanning 65,000 years

Australia is seen as a young country — but do you really know its ancient story?

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples' story goes way, way back… take an awe-inspiring journey into Deep Time.

It's like the nursery rhyme says:

Oh, the former Duke of York,
He had 12 million quid,
He gave it to victims he "never met,"
For things he "never did."

Always take sentences using “the Cloud” or “the Internet” and try replacing those phrases with “A shed in Virginia” to see how they hold up. “Our service is fully based in a shed in Virginia”; “All my files are in a shed in Virginia”; “A shed in Virginia was designed to survive a nuclear war”, etc.
