Cultural Significance of the Kangaroo in Aboriginal Lore
Across Aboriginal nations, the kangaroo holds great cultural and spiritual meaning.
It symbolises strength, nurture, and the balance of nature, teaching that every creature plays an important role in Country’s story.
In Dreaming stories, kangaroos remind us of family, respect, and care for one another — values that guide Aboriginal life.
