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.
02:43Opened in 1932,
03:12Sydney's Harbour Bridge is one of the best-known sites of Australia.
03:34The 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.
03:57The ferry is located in the middle of the columbus.
04:00The ferry was conducted in the middle of the
04:07predicament.
04:09The ferry with the ferry is the most active.
05:14The 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 with the sea.
05:24It is possible to visit legendary vessels such as the Vampire Destroyer
05:28and submarines like the HMAS Onslow, the Endeavour and the James Craig.
06:21The famous ship, the English Navigator James Cook 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 survival.
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
06:56at the very spot where Captain Cook landed almost 250 years ago.
07:10My name is Gavin Dixon. I live in Australia.
07:38My ancestry is mixed from a European and native stock.
07:46I attempted to revive the indigenous martial art of Corita.
08:08With us, we draw a circle on the ground and one person is inside the circle, one person
08:22is outside the circle. The person on the inside of the circle has the job of restraining the
08:28other person as they come in. The one on the outside has the job of trying to push the
08:34person outside the circle.
08:35This tradition is completely different.
08:46There's one that's going on in Korea.
08:51so I learned a little bit about the the weapons traditions fighting with a nulla nulla 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 part I started to look into more
09:49dressing for the Corita is a very thorough and precise ritual just as the Aborigines once had
10:01done based on the pre-colonial indigenous games naturally the modern version was inspired by the
10:08rituals of the time in order to respect the sport derived from wrestling
10:38nothing is left to chance in preparation to allow the fighter to be comfortable during his fight but
10:53always with a view to respect the rules that have continued for years at least two people are
11:21needed to dress for the Corita as the material is complex to put on
11:24so
11:28I'll be stuck with them anyway.
11:48Keep going.
11:52Yeah.
11:54Oh no, we shouldn't reveal the past.
12:03What is this tie modelled on?
12:06I think it's just loincloth.
12:08The cloth?
12:09The tie.
12:10That's 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 peace making 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 peace keeping 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.

13:26The 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 Cay and is
13:54at the foot of the Harbour Bridge. Today, the Rocks is a lively area where restaurants rub shoulders
14:00with pubs, cafes, shops and museums. The charm of its history remains intact thanks to the
14:06conservation plan led by the City of Sydney. On weekends, it is a market known to all,
14:15the Rocks Markets. Nearly 150 stalls are gathered mingling crafts, jewellery, natural products,
14:22glass, portrait artists and more. Friday is the Rocks Farmer's Market, which is in the
14:27spotlight with its farm fresh products, fruit and vegetables, cheese, eggs, milk, bread and
14:34many other gourmet products.

14:58We'll see you next time.
15:28Inaugurated in 1973, the Sydney Opera House is one of the greatest architectural works
15:45of the 20th century.
15:46It consists of three groups of shells, interlocking vaulted roofs for two main performance venues
15:52and a restaurant.
15:53The shells are set upon a vast platform surrounded by terrace areas that function as pedestrian
15:59concourses.
16:00Since its construction, the building has had a great influence on the world of architecture.
16:06It combines various trends and demonstrates innovative design from the point of view of
16:10architectural form and structural design.
16:23This urban sculpture has been carefully integrated into the coastal landscape of the city, located
16:37at the tip of a peninsula jutting into Sydney Harbour.
16:41The Harbour Bridge is the highest steel arch bridge in the world, with a peak reaching
16:57134 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.
17:15One of the key attractions of the bridge is the bridge climb, reserved for those who have
17:19no fear of heights.
17:21You can try a climbing group of three and a half hours in the company of an experienced
17:25guide.
17:33The Harbour Bridge to Sydney is what the Eiffel Tower is in Paris, a symbol and extraordinary
17:38monument.
17:40Frenchman Georges Ambeau imagined this long technical work, 1149 metres long and nearly 50 metres wide,
17:48making it the largest bridge in the world.
18:16If you have the courage to climb its 200 steps, you can enjoy the view from the Pylon Lookout
18:20from the Southeast Tower.
18:23The Harbour Bridge to Sydney.
18:24On the East Coast, the Harbour Bridge, the Harbour Bridge and the Harbour Bridge!
18:29In Jesus' estate in Paris is near the Cairns in Paris, a Scotland Yard.
18:30A
18:34Chianglo Renny, the Harbour Bridge and the Harbour Bridge.
18:39The Harbour Bridge is h�mj, the Harbour Bridge, who is the way she is.
18:43The Harbour Bridge and the Harbour Bridge are a large cluster of islands.
18:46When I was travelling around Australia, I was in a town called Cobar, it's in western
19:13New South Wales, this was back in 1992 and I was making enquiries as to the origin of
19:21wrestling in this country and I met an interesting man who told me a story that was told to him
19:27by his own grandfather.
19:43So in traditional times humans were also animals and this old man that he spoke of was a shingle
20:06back lizard man and he was concerned because his nephews had died from what they call payback.
20:15Basically someone got killed in one tribe so in payback this other tribe would come back
20:22and kill someone from this tribe and this reprisal went on and on and this old lizard man was
20:29concerned.
20:30He'd seen so many of his family members die through this violence that he wanted to
20:35find a solution.
20:36The other thing I'm going to use with the sticks is just tap them to make time, to mark time.
20:42What I want you guys to do now is show off, pretend there's a big audience here and now's
20:46your chance to impress all those girls out there.
20:51So you can do anything you want, as long as it's only your hand here's a little thing.
20:56Do a cartwheel, do a cartwheel, if you do a one arm cartwheel, do your hands at this
21:00stage, just like hands, and now just start moving, just start moving.
21:03What the cartwheel is, it's not like that, you know, it's been a big one, it's been a big one,
21:19it's been a big one, it's been a big one, it's been a big one.
21:23so 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 was starving himself
21:54to death but in that long chant he had a vision and the vision was a giant snake that came out of
22:01the waterhole so this giant snake it was so huge I was told that it could have just swallowed the
22:07man whole but it didn't eat him it simply said to him watch the kangaroos
22:18that's it wait a minute wait a minute
22:35once you step inside this circle I'll start counting one two three four if I start getting
23:03seven eight eight eight eight eight eight effective attack you'll score a point point
23:07all right so you see that one
23:10one two three four five three seven four
23:18they go they go
23:19okay no one won
23:21what has happened
23:23both four and one
23:24they go
23:24they go
23:25they go
23:26they go
23:27they go
23:28they go
23:29they go
23:30they go
23:31don't
23:34they go
23:38they're
23:40they go
23:42they go
23:43they're
23:44and
23:45it's
23:46they're
23:48he
23:49they're
23:50they're
23:51a
23:54and so he realized this was um 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 um racing and chasing and playing and eating and and moving and and loving and doing
24:29everything that kangaroos do but one day he saw two large male kangaroos come to blows
24:35and as he was watching the animals uh he realized at the end of that fight that death was not the
24:42outcome we're saluting our opponent
25:03you're not doing anything else except moving
25:12remember only the hands and feet can touch it around so if you make their hand
25:22touch it around that's it it's over when they catch it around it's over
25:37and he took that message back to his tribe back to his mob and the invitation was then sent out to
25:57all the other nations around the area bring your young men in but leave their weapons outside
26:03the ceremonial area and in this way they imitated the the actions of the kangaroo in in their body
26:10postures and they they wrestled but death was not the outcome of the fight
26:24so the young men then had their chance to to vent their aggression in a controlled manner and peace
26:40was restored to the society hence the reason we call them peacekeeping ceremonies
26:45as opposed to the weapons ones which are peacemaking ceremonies
27:03running along the bays of sydney is certainly a delight
27:06and one of the most appreciated places is the coogee beach
27:14only 20 minutes from downtown sydney coogee beach

29:18area and children's playground.

32:13sea and rocks, but since 1979 it has been completely renovated.
32:37The End
33:01The Blue Mountains are a mountain range about 100 km west of Sydney,
33:25listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO since 2000.
33:31The 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 Jameson Valley.
33:51The Blue Mountains are one million hectares of cliffs, jungle, waterfalls and eucalyptus forests.
34:10The eucalyptus have also given their name to the mountains because of the bluish color that emanate from them.
34:17At the center of these mountains is Scenic World, a resort built to immerse the visitor in the heart of this nature.
34:39Its latest attraction is the Scenic Skyway, a cable car offering vertiginous views.
34:45The Skyway offers visitors a journey suspended over 270 meters above the rainforest of the Jameson Valley.
34:52The line is almost horizontal because only 13 vertical meters separate the Scenic World West Train Station,
34:59957 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 low
35:13to allow time for visitors to enjoy the 360-degree panoramic view.
35:18The 1985 meters are very low to the West Station.
35:21The
35:45In the rain forest of the Blue Mountains, green, humid vegetation is everywhere.
36:15The 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.
37:06Small huts remain where the miners would eat or take their breaks.

38:25The main business district of Sydney, CBD, is known in the city and extends three kilometres
38:50south.
38:58George Street is one of the streets of the Central Business District of Sydney.
39:01It is one of the busiest downtown.
39:04Stretching over three kilometres, it connects a number of buildings and districts among
39:08the most important of the city.
39:10Here, you'll find yourself among the tallest buildings throughout Australia.
39:14The Queen Victoria building is a large shopping centre which offers four floors of shops and
39:32eating places.
39:34French designer Pierre Cardin called it the most beautiful shopping centre of the world.
39:59The 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
40:15the many Chinese, Thai, Japanese, Vietnamese or even Indonesian restaurants.
