ZyggyStardust, If you mean our life should be a "spiritual journey", then I wholeheartedly agree. However, too many folks 'say' their life is a spiritual journey, but they 'limp through' as if life is a spiritual inconvenience. That is, they pass the time away without concern for what may be learned in terms of spiritual enlightenment - caring only for the party aspect of life. I don't mean to suggest that we should not enjoy all the good things in life. I only mean that life is a waste if not a learning experience.

Player Ejag, The Gods Must Be Crazy was filmed in Africa not Australia. There was an Australian movie called Walkabout maybe you confused them

wakwekwok, Aboriginal society and culture, unique to Australia, is the oldest, living culture in the world...impressive

Australian whites made it a derogatory term. The only thing that is derogatory about Australia is the racism towards the first peoples of Australia

you can watch all the movies and videos you like but you will never know everything. Each tribe is different and you have over 200 different aboriginal languages spoken in Australia. To start learning their true customs, beliefs and rituals you have to be an initiated member of that tribe. men have one lot of customs, beliefs and rituals and women have their own.

that is one tough rite of passage!

this question should not refer to the country, but the culture society.

How many 10 -16 year olds work full-time that they would need to take time off of work for this ritual. Aren't they still in school?

Crocodile Dundee helped me on this one. Lol

I think a lot of indigenous people including native Americans have this sort of coming of age rituals. we need to respect their customs. in this country native Americans came back to their spiritual roots. I find this inspirational.

mick dundee, not necessarily unique to the Australia. Native American tribe practiced similar rites of passage for their young men.

ChampionNymph37634, Yes indeed. I formed a good question out of what you wrote: "Is life a spiritual journey, or a spiritual inconvenience?".

everyone after 18 should do some solo trip to discover themselves & the world. you may never get the chance again.

Player #8662998, never heard of this before, so I used double chance and still got it wrong

Player #8662998
the question is unclear by the way it is worded by not saying that its refuring to ancient native culture

Gary, I believe you might be confused. Where does ,The Gods Must Be Crazy, have any place being mentioned?

I read a book by Dr. Margaret Mead (Anthropologist) who went on a Traditional Walkabout with Aborigines back in the 70s,,, No Joke!Talk about Survival, you live off the land. Amazing Book,, Don't Remember the Title.😞
