Australia is home to an indigenous culture which is almost unrivalled in its longevity.
(most Australians ignore – or are simply ignorant of – the existence of the San. Southern Africa’s so-called “Bushmen” also have a continuous culture which predates every “Western” one by tens of thousands of years. It is entirely possible that San culture may be even older than is Aboriginal Australia’s)
In terms of imposing buildings and “historic” streetscapes, however, Australia is a very young country.
Not so Morocco and Spain!
This post’s photo encompasses more than two thousand years’ worth of construction, conflict, destruction and renovation.
