As vast as a continent, Australia is one of the countries with the most diverse territories, featuring desert, tropical, equatorial, and temperate climates. This diversity creates stunning landscapes and an incredible richness of flora and fauna. The land of kangaroos and koalas is also home to a martial art based on the combat techniques of the Indigenous people. Created to help Aboriginals defend themselves without weapons, this ancient technique is a blend of wrestling and traditional dance. This martial art is inspired by animal mimicry, drawing particularly from the movements of the kangaroo. Today, Australian wrestling, known as Coreeda, is an integral part of Australia’s cultural heritage.

00:00Thank you for listening.
02:08Bordering the bay, you will also find natural parks and World Heritage listed sites.
02:13Circular K is a key place of Sydney Bay because it is from this point that the entire agglomeration
02:19has developed.
02:20This is one of the major transport hubs by rail, sea and road from Sydney, where thousands
02:26of people flock to every day.
02:48Opened in 1932, Sydney's Harbour Bridge is one of the best-known sites of Australia.
03:18The ferry is a public transit widely used in Sydney because it links the city from the
03:38north to the south.
03:40The common terminal is situated on Circular K near the opera.
03:53The ferry is a great way to admire the opera from all angles.
03:56We'll see you next time.
04:01We'll see you next time.
04:03We'll see you next time.
04:08We'll see you next time.
04:10We'll see you next time.
04:17We'll see you next time.
09:12I learnt a little bit about the weapons traditions, fighting with Nala Nala, a boomerang sword,
09:22the Helamon shields, the Woomera spear throwers and spears, but I also found there was a tradition
09:31in unarmed combat as well, and that's the part I started to look into more.
09:42Dressing for the Corita is a very thorough and precise ritual, just as the Aborigines once had done.
10:03Based on the pre-colonial indigenous games, naturally the modern version was inspired by the rituals of the time
10:09in order to respect the sport derived from wrestling.
10:39Nothing is left to chance, in preparation to allow the fighter to be comfortable during
10:52his fight, but always with a view to respect the rules that have continued for years.
10:58At least two people are needed to dress for the Corita as the material is complex to put
11:24on.
11:31And then we're still breathing in anyway.
11:36Keep going?
11:37Yeah.
11:38Stop it.
11:39Oh no, we shouldn't reveal the past.
11:44That's it?
11:47Good.
11:48You're going?
11:51Yeah.
11:52Stop it.
11:54Oh no, we shouldn't reveal the past.
12:00What is this tie modelled on?
12:05I think it's just loincloth.
12:08The cloth?
12:09The tie, the way you're stroking it.
12:12Sumo.
12:13Sumo.
12:14Yeah.
12:15That's all it is.
12:16Except of course the sumo belt is much...
12:18Traditional martial arts in Australia were divided between what we call peace keeping
12:24martial arts and peacemaking martial arts.
12:27The peacemaking tradition involved the weapons and sometimes ended in death.
12:33These were martial arts by anyone's standards.
12:36They were fighting with weapons.
12:37They were often there to either severely injure or kill as part of the payback ritual.
12:43But my interest was more in these peacekeeping rituals and that's where the wrestling came into it.
12:49Wrestling is done without weapons.
12:51It is done without striking or kicking.
12:54It is a defined set of rules that permit the sport to function.

13:17The Rocks is the oldest part of Sydney,
13:46where the first British settlers set up house.
13:49Bordering Port Jackson,
13:51The Rocks face the Sydney Opera House and Circular Cay
13:54and is at the foot of the Harbour Bridge.
13:56Today, The Rocks is a lively area
13:59where restaurants rub shoulders with pubs, cafes, shops and museums.
14:03The charm of its history remains intact,
14:06thanks to the conservation plan led by the City of Sydney.
14:12On weekends, it is a market known to all,
14:15The Rocks markets.
14:16Nearly 150 stalls are gathered mingling crafts, jewelry,
14:20natural products, glass, portrait artists and more.
14:24Friday is The Rocks farmers market,
14:26which is in the spotlight with its farm fresh products,
14:29fruit and vegetables, cheese, eggs, milk, bread
14:34and many other gourmet products.
16:06It combines various trends and demonstrates innovative design from the point of view of architectural form and structural design.
16:13This urban sculpture has been carefully integrated into the coastal landscape of the city, located at the tip of a peninsula jutting into Sydney Harbour.
16:40The Harbour Bridge is the highest steel arch bridge in the world, with a peak reaching 134 metres above sea level.
17:00It connects the northern and southern parts of Sydney.
17:03It is possible to cross on foot, by bike, or car.
17:08Having been dubbed the Old Hangar, it is certainly after the opera, the second symbol of the city.
17:13One of the key attractions of the bridge is the bridge climb, reserved for those who have no fear of heights.
17:21You can try a climbing group of three and a half hours in the company of an experienced guide.
17:26Harbour Bridge to Sydney is what the Eiffel Tower is in Paris, a symbol and extraordinary monument.
17:38Frenchman George Ambeau imagined this long technical work, 1149 metres long and nearly 50 metres wide, making it the largest bridge in the world.
17:50If you have the courage to climb its 200 steps, you can enjoy the view from the pylon
18:20long look out from the South East Tower.
18:50When I was travelling around Australia, I was in a town called Cobar, it's in western New South Wales.
19:13This was back in 1992 and I was making enquiries as to the origin of wrestling in this country.
19:22I met an interesting man who told me the story that was told to him by his own grandfather.
19:28He worked for this way of over-degression.
19:32It wasn't about ego.
19:35I'll be refereeing from this side.
19:38I will just go through this with the basic rules of the street.
19:42So, basic channels cut down.
19:46There shouldn't be any contact between you.
19:49The history you're going to follow.
19:52Number one, you have to do this.
19:55If you stop breathing, you'll do this this day.
19:57So, in traditional times, humans were also animals.
20:01And this old man that he spoke of was a shingle-backed lizard man.
20:08And he was concerned because his nephews had died from what they call payback.
20:14Basically, someone got killed in one tribe.
20:18So, in payback, this other tribe would come back and kill someone from this tribe.
20:24And this reprisal went on and on.
20:27And this old lizard man was concerned.
20:29He'd seen so many of his family members die through this violence that he wanted to find a solution.
20:36The other thing I'm going to use with the sticks is just tap them to make time, to mark time.
20:43What I want you guys to do now is show off.
20:46Pretend there's a big audience here.
20:47And now's your chance to impress all those girls out there.
20:50So, you can do anything you want, as long as it's only your hand.
20:55You can do a cartwheel, do a cartwheel, do a one-arm cartwheel, do your hands at this stage.
21:00Just like hands.
21:01And now just start moving.
21:02Just start moving, yeah?
21:03Just start moving.
21:33So, he went to a waterhole, and he sat and he chanted.
21:46He sang a song for a long time.
21:49The story I was told was he chanted for so long that his ribs began to show.
21:53He was starving himself to death.
21:55But in that long chant, he had a vision.
21:58And the vision was a giant snake that came out of the waterhole.
22:02So, this giant snake, it was so huge that I was told that it could have just swallowed the man whole.
22:08But it didn't eat him.
22:09It simply said to him, watch the kangaroos.
22:12Wait a minute, wait a minute.
22:21Stop.
22:33Well done. That's it. Wait a minute.
22:35Stop.
22:51Once you step inside this circle I'll start counting 1,2,3,4
23:02If I start getting 17,18,19 that's going to score a point point in time
23:07Alright so you see that one here
23:101,2,3,4,5,3,7
23:18Take over the gap
23:20Now what has happened is much moreños
23:223,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,2,4,5,3,4,5,4,5,6,6,6,6,6,7,7,8,9,10,2,4,3,4,5,6,7,8,1,7,8
23:40Let me go, let me go
23:42Ah so close
23:443,4,5,6,7,8.
23:478, 9, 10, 11, 14, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, help!
23:54Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
23:56Stop sides.
23:571, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, let him go, let him go.
24:07How did you walk out?
24:09And so he realised this was a message from the gods, from the ancestors.
24:16So he went and observed a mob of kangaroos, big red kangaroos in that country.
24:21And he saw them racing and chasing and playing and eating and moving and loving and doing everything that kangaroos do.
24:30But one day he saw two large male kangaroos come to blows.
24:35And as he was watching the animals, he realised at the end of that fight that death was not the outcome.
24:46So we're here at the stage.
24:48We're saluting our opponent.
24:49We're here at the stage.
24:50We're saluting our opponent.
24:52We're saluting our opponent.
24:54And she said, a white thing moves.
24:58Some hands are straight into it.
25:00Just moving, just moving.
25:01Just move.
25:02You're not doing anything else except moving.
25:05Remember only the hands and feet can touch it round, so if you make their hand touch it round, that's it, it's over.
25:23Make their knee touch it round, it's over.
25:25Grab their leg.
25:35And he took that message back to his tribe, back to his mob and the invitation was then sent out to all the other nations around the area, bring your young men in but leave their weapons outside the ceremonial area.
26:04And in this way they imitated the actions of the kangaroo in their body postures and they wrestled, but death was not the outcome of the fight.
26:15So the young men then had their chance to vent their aggression in a controlled manner and peace was restored to the society hence the reason we call them peacekeeping ceremonies.
26:43As opposed to the weapons ones which are peacemaking ceremonies.
26:50Running along the bays of Sydney is certainly a delight and one of the most appreciated places is the Coogee beach.

27:42Coogee beach is one of the great beaches of the outskirts of Sydney.
27:46It is located in neighborhoods east of the city.
27:49It is considered an ideal family beach, both for safety and location.
27:53It is possible to practice surfing in relatively calm waters and swim all year round under the careful watch of lifeguards.

28:24Which SMID has been choreographed while interesting, could you have been happy with you?
28:26Semi-circular stairs are used as much to descend on the beach, or just to sit and admire the
28:43beautiful view from this spot.
28:56The many houses surrounding Kuji Beach enjoy a most stunning view of the ocean.
29:14At the southern curve of the beach is a park that leads to the Grand Reserve, with a picnic
29:18area and children's playground.
29:21The place offers a spectacular view of the ocean.
29:51Australia is an El Dorado for surfers.
30:04It is also not uncommon to see thousands of French on Australian beaches every year, such
30:08as Bondi Beach in Sydney.
30:11Sydney is certainly one of the world's surfing capitals, with a very high concentration of
30:15spots around town, offering good conditions all year round.
30:33Bondi Beach is the most popular beach in Australia.
30:36From dawn to dusk, you will always see sport lovers in the water.
30:40The mountains are pleasant all year, and the waves are regular.
30:42The mountains are pleasant all year, and the waves are regular.
30:47But even if you had stopped because of 오ine, while you who are sleeping and theBC are

31:08The city usually bears 해 a possibility of having no 코로나 dependence on theiere aperture,
31:14including the Newark Canyonrão main elevation.
32:15It has been completely renovated.
33:15The Blue Mountains are a mountain range about 100 kilometers west of Sydney, listed as
33:26a World Heritage Site by UNESCO since 2000.
33:30The Three Sisters are well-known rock formations in Australia, more precisely sandstone peaks
33:44worn by elements over millennia, culminating at over 900 meters among the cliffs of the
33:49Jameson Valley.
33:50The Blue Mountains are one million hectares of cliffs, jungle, waterfalls and eucalyptus
34:10forests.
34:11The eucalyptus have also given their name to the mountains because of the bluish color
34:15that emanate from them.
34:18At the center of these mountains is Scenic World, a resort built to immerse the visitor
34:38in the heart of this nature.
34:39Its latest attraction is the Scenic Skyway, a cable car offering vertiginous views.
34:46The skyway offers visitors a journey suspended over 270 meters above the rainforest of the
34:51Jameson Valley.
34:52The line is almost horizontal because only 13 vertical meters separate the Scenic World
34:59West train station, 957 meters from that of the East station, at an altitude of 944 meters.
35:07The line is short, measuring only 330 meters in length, but the operating speed is deliberately
35:13low to allow time for visitors to enjoy the 360-degree panoramic view.
35:43In the rainforest of the Blue Mountains, green, humid vegetation is everywhere.
36:13The town of Katoomba was not created until 1879, when J.B. North opened a coal mine.
36:22Today it is the remains of the mines that are found walking in the forest.
36:26At that time, a train was used to bring the coal to the top of the mountain.
36:30Today, the rails are used to circulate the railway, a tourist train originally designed to transport
36:36basic goods.
36:37It also includes a museum that traces the history of some objects of that time.
36:43Small huts remain where the miners would eat or take their breaks.
37:13Before the servers are just what they would eat, we should look to our buyers.
37:43I got to take a look.
38:43The main business district of Sydney, CBD, is known in the city and extends three kilometers south.
38:58George Street is one of the streets of the central business district of Sydney.
39:01It is one of the busiest downtown. Stretching over three kilometers,
39:05it connects a number of buildings and districts among the most important of the city.
39:09Here, you'll find yourself among the tallest buildings throughout Australia.
39:27The Queen Victoria building is a large shopping center which offers four floors of shops and eating places.
39:32The French designer Pierre Cardin called it the most beautiful shopping center of the world.
39:39The original Asian district of Sydney, Chinatown, was located in the Rocks area.
39:48It was only in the early 20th century it came to settle between Dixon and Sussex Street.

40:09Surrounded by doors in traditional oriental architecture, one can enjoy dining at a low price in one of the many Chinese,
40:16Thai, Japanese, Vietnamese, Vietnamese, or even Indonesian restaurants.
40:21The original, "'Know," was also located on the Great Park Street in the Grand Court.
40:26Now the first one was located in the experience in the Grand Court.
40:32If there is one typical Australian object,
41:02it is the boomerang.
41:04It has been said to have been invented and used by the Aboriginal people of both regions of Australia,
41:09the Northern Territory and New South Wales.
41:14Learning to use batons such as the boomerang can work agility and precision.

46:09We do have some restrictions.
46:12After the age of 13, girls can only wrestle girls, boys can only wrestle boys.
46:19It's just the way of the heritage of the country, that it's just open to anyone.

49:15A pervasive nature and many other advantages make it one of the ten most livable cities
49:21in the world.
49:37Part of its culture comes from the Aborigines, such as the martial art the Corita, an art
49:43that has evolved over time and adapted to its time but maintains its traditional basis.
49:48It is an art that will endure over time because it is an integral part of the history of Australia.
