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.
02:46Opened in 1932, Sydney's Harbour Bridge is one of the best-known sites of Australia.
03:16The 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.
05:09The Australian National Maritime Museum is located at the northern end of Darling Harbour
05:18and presents the history of Sydney through its maritime past and its close relationship
05:23with the sea.
05:24It is possible to visit legendary vessels, such as the Vampire Destroyer and submarines
05:29like the HMAS Onslow, the Endeavour and the James Craig.
05:59Australians built a replica of the HMB Endeavour, the famous ship that English navigator James
06:23Cook headed to Australia-on between 1768 and 1770.
06:29Navigation lasted three years, with 94 people on board, including many scientists.
06:35The crew was able to avoid scurvy with lemon juice, providing the necessary vitamins for
06:39survival.
06:40With its 29 kilometers of rope, 750 wood elements, three masts, the main one measuring 39 meters,
06:49and 28 sails reaching 930 square meters, this boat is a majestic complex situated almost at
06:57the very spot where Captain Cook landed almost 250 years ago.
07:01The crew was able to tackle so as well as the pilot to get involved in our promotes culture and
07:18cic task vehicle.
07:20My name is Gavin Dixon, I live in Australia.
07:39My ancestry is mixed from a European and native stock.
07:47I attempted to revive the indigenous martial art of Corita.
08:17With us, we draw a circle on the ground.
08:20One person is inside the circle, one person is outside the circle.
08:23The person on the inside of the circle has the job of restraining the other person as
08:29they come in.
08:31The one on the outside has the job of trying to push the person outside the circle.
08:38I think that has the same intention for the middle of Corita.
08:40One person is outside the circle.
08:42The second person is outside.
08:45The first person is outside the circle.
08:47He is outside the circle.
08:48He is outside the circle.
08:49He is outside the circle of history.
08:51He is outside the circle of the English Winnington.
08:53So I learnt a little bit about the weapons traditions, fighting with Nala Nala, a boomerang
09:19sword, the Helamon shields, the Woomera spear throwers and spears, but I also found there
09:29was a tradition in unarmed combat as well, and that's the part I started to look into
09:35more.
09:56Dressing for the Corita is a very thorough and precise ritual, just as the Aborigines once
10:01had done. Based on the pre-colonial indigenous games, naturally the modern version was inspired
10:07by the rituals of the time in order to respect the sport derived from wrestling.
10:31Nothing 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.
11:04At least two people are needed to dress for the Corita, as the material is complex to put
11:24on.
11:31a little bit more.
11:34I'm sorry, man.
11:38I'll be still a first man anyway, so...
11:41Okay.
11:42Keep going, man.
11:44Yeah.
11:45Stop it.
11:49Oh, no, we shouldn't reveal the past.
11:55That's it.
12:00That's it. What is this tie modelled on?
12:06Or is it yours?
12:08The tie itself, the way you're striping in it.
12:12Sumo.
12:14Yeah.
12:16That's all it is, except of course the sumo belt is much more.
12:19Traditional martial arts in Australia were divided between what we call peacekeeping martial arts and peacemaking martial arts.
12:27The peacemaking tradition involved the weapons and sometimes ended in death.
12:34These were martial arts by any one standard.
12:37They were fighting with weapons.
12:38They were often there to either severely injure or kill as part of the payback ritual.
12:44But my interest was more in these peacekeeping rituals and that's where the wrestling came into it.
12:49Wrestling is done without weapons.
12:52It is done without striking or kicking.
12:55It is a defined set of rules that permit the sport to function.
13:00The
13:27The Rocks is the oldest part of Sydney, where the first British settlers set up house.
13:49Bordering Port Jackson, the Rocks face the Sydney Opera House and Circular K, and is
13:54at the foot of the Harbour Bridge.
13:57Today, the Rocks is a lively area where restaurants rub shoulders with pubs, cafes, shops and museums.
14:04The charm of its history remains intact, thanks to the conservation plan led by the city of
14:08Sydney.
14:12On weekends, it is a market known to all, the Rocks Markets.
14:16Nearly 150 stalls are gathered mingling crafts, jewellery, natural products, glass, portrait
14:23artists and more.
14:25Friday is the Rocks Farmer's Market, which is in the spotlight with its farm fresh products,
14:30fruit and vegetables, cheese, eggs, milk, bread and many other gourmet products.
14:38Let's take a look!
14:41Here we go!
14:43See you next week!
14:45The Rocks Farmer!
16:52The 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.
17:07Having 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 Georges Ambeau imagined this long technical work, 1149 metres long and nearly 50 metres wide, making it the largest bridge in the world.
17:50Frenchman Georges Ambeau
17:59If you have the courage to climb its 200 steps, you can enjoy the view from the pylon lookout from the southeast tower.
18:22Frenchman Georges Ambeau
19:57So in traditional times, humans were also animals, and this old man that he spoke of was a shinglebacked lizard man.
20:07And 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, and 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, and 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, if you do a one-arm cartwheel, hands at this stage, just like hands.
21:01And now just start moving, just start moving, yeah?
21:03Stop left!
21:04If I want you to do something to check it out.
21:07What's much fun about SRM and STIAL?
21:17You can't do that at McCoy.
21:19Look down there.
21:22Three, five, four!
21:25I'll throw that back!
21:26One!
21:27Oh no!
21:27They're done coming in!
21:29No!
21:31No!
21:32so he went to a waterhole and he sat and he chanted he sang a song for a long time
21:48the story I was told was he chanted for so long that his ribs began to show he
21:53was starving himself to death but in that long chant he had a vision and the
21:58vision was a giant snake that came out of the waterhole so this giant snake it was
22:04so huge that I was told that it could have just swallowed the man whole but it
22:09didn't eat him they just simply said to him watch the kangaroos
22:28that's it wait a minute wait a minute
22:34once you step inside this circle I'll start counting one two three four if I start getting
22:4170
22:55once you've stepped inside this circle I'll start counting one two three four if I start getting
23:0370, 80, 80, 80, 80.
23:05Thank you to TAC, you'll score a point for each time.
23:08Alright, so you have one, yeah.
23:12Right?
23:13One, two, three, four, five, three, seven, four,
23:18we go over there.
23:21No one won.
23:21So what has happened, both four or one.
23:24We go over there.
23:27One, two, three, four, five, two, one.
23:311, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 19, 20.
23:53Hello!
24:10And so he realized this was a message from from the gods from the old from the ancestors
24:17so he went and observed a mob of kangaroos big red kangaroos in that country
24:22and he saw them racing and chasing and playing and eating and and and moving and and loving and
24:29doing everything that kangaroos do but one day he saw two large male kangaroos come to blows
24:35and as he was watching the animals he realized at the end of that fight that death was not the outcome
24:43Yep
24:48We're saluting our opponent
24:57We're not doing anything else except moving
25:05Make sure
25:07Remember, only the hands and feet can catch the ground so if you make their head
25:22Touch it around, that's it, it's over.
25:24Touch it around, it's over.
25:26Grab their leg.
25:28And he took that message back to his tribe, back to his mob.
25:55And the invitation was then sent out to all the other nations around the area.
26:00Bring your young men in, but leave their weapons outside the ceremonial area.
26:05And in this way, they imitated the actions of the kangaroo in their body postures.
26:11And they wrestled, but death was not the outcome of the fight.
26:25So the young men then had their chance to vent their aggression in a controlled manner,
26:39and peace was restored to the society.
26:42Hence the reason we call them peacekeeping ceremonies, as opposed to the weapons ones,
26:47which are peacemaking ceremonies.
27:03Running along the bays of Sydney is certainly a delight,
27:05and one of the most appreciated places is the Kuji Beach.
27:09.
27:12.
27:14.

27:35Only 20 minutes from downtown Sydney, Coogee Beach is one of the great beaches of the outskirts
27:45of Sydney.
27:46It is located in neighbourhoods east of the city.
27:49It is considered an ideal family beach, both for safety and location.
27:54It is possible to practice surfing in relatively calm waters and swim all year round under
27:59the careful watch of lifeguards.
28:05Music.
28:12Music.
28:24Music.
28:31Music.
28:35Semi-circular stairs are used as much to descend on the beach or just to sit and admire the
28:43beautiful view from this spot.
29:01The 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.
29:23The place offers a spectacular view of the ocean.
29:53Australia 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.
30:40Conditions are pleasant all year and the waves are regular.
30:43the pustos on the었다.
30:52Don't walk out on shore as you will are very high.
30:54I free the ride is very close and slow.
30:59Him will reach the easiest for your sa 눈.
33:04The Blue Mountains are a mountain range about 100 kilometers west of Sydney, listed as
33:26a World Heritage Site by UNESCO since 2000.
33:29The 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.
34:40Its 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.
35:06The 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.
35:36In the rainforest of the Blue Mountains, green, humid vegetation is everywhere.
36:06The town of Katumba 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.
36:41Small huts remain in the forest of that time.
36:48Small huts remain where the miners would eat or take their breaks.
37:10Small huts remain where the miners would eat or take their breaks.
37:17Small huts remain where the miners are just without the miners'
37:20They must be brought to the miners'
37:35They are only in the harbor.
37:37The moon will beDelta.
37:40Oh, my God.
38:10I love you.
38:40The 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.
39:02It is one of the busiest downtown.
39:04Stretching over three kilometers, it connects a number of buildings and districts among the most important of the city.
39:10Here, 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.
39:33The French designer Pierre Cardin called it the most beautiful shopping center of the world.
39:40The original Asian district of Sydney, Chinatown, was located in the Rocks area.
40:04It was only in the early 20th century it came to settle between Dixon and Sussex Street.
40:10Surrounded by doors in traditional oriental architecture, one can enjoy dining at a low price in one of the many Chinese, Thai, Japanese, Vietnamese, or even Indonesian restaurants.
40:21On the mountainous nights.
40:51If there is one typical Australian object, it is the boomerang.
41:04It has been said to have been invented and used by the Aboriginal people of both regions
41:08of Australia, the Northern Territory and New South Wales.
41:15Learning to use batons, such as the boomerang, can work agility and precision.
41:45In the past, it is a lot of people in the mountains.
41:52Now, this is a land.
41:58Now, this is an animal that is not a natural language for a few people in the country.
42:04It is a human being.
42:09That's cool.
42:14That's cool.
42:16That's cool.
42:19Cheers, guys.
42:23I'll do anything for you.
42:26That's cool.
42:31After the various explanations from the teacher and a moment of relaxation, it is time for
42:59students to practice what they have learned.
43:25It is important to know how to disentangle oneself from an opponent.
43:32It is a great day.
43:39It is a great day.
43:42It is a great day.
43:45It is a great day.
43:52It is a great day.
43:55It is a great day.
44:01It is a great day.
44:18That's it, I'm not.
44:32There we go.
44:36Well done.
44:47Like many wrestling sports, strength and technique are extremely important.
45:17Oh my god.
45:45Anyone can practice Corita.
45:57It's open to young, old, boy, girl and anyone in between, black, brindle, white, it doesn't
46:04matter which skin colour, what heritage you come from, anyone's welcome to do Corita.
46:09We do have some restrictions, after the age of 13, girls can only wrestle girls, boys
46:17can only wrestle boys.
46:19It's just the way of the heritage of the country, but it's just open to anyone.
46:39It's my name I think.
47:09Sydney Harbour offers spectacular views of many incredible spots that can be discovered
47:33through the many ferries that leave from Circular K.
47:50The sunset over the bay is a majestic sight.

49:28Part of its culture comes from the aborigines such as the martial art, the Corita, an art that has evolved over time and adapted to its time but maintains its traditional basis.
49:46An art that will endure over time because it is an integral part of the history of Australia.
