Australian adventure and outdoor magazine, Outer Edge is shining the spotlight on Indigenous adventures across Australia and beyond in its latest edition, due out on 29th July, 2009.

The Outer Edge Indigenous Adventures-themed edition includes articles on trekking Songlines in the Blue Mountains, paddling in Victoria's Lake Tyres region, canoe building and spear fishing in Arnhem Land in the Northern Territory and a list of the Top Ten Indigenous Adventures, as selected by Ian Crawshaw, author of Australia Walkabout, the award-winning Indigenous travel guide.

Aden Ridgeway, Chairman of Tourism Australia's Indigenous Tourism Advisory Panel said “I am excited that this edition of Outer Edge showcases the broad range and depth of Indigenous adventure experiences available across the country.

“This is a fantastic initiative and it will provide readers with an opportunity to learn more about how to experience Aboriginal culture and lifestyle in a contemporary, adventurous and meaningful way.

“Australia's Indigenous culture sets us apart from other countries around the world. Our culture and our relationship with this extraordinary landscape, combines to provide travellers with a truly unique experience. There is no question that such an experience is becoming more and more important to Australians and international visitors planning to explore this vast country.”

Ourter Edge: Top 10 Indigenous Adventures

Outer Edge editor Patrick Kinsella sees this exciting edition as just the beginning.  “Our support for Australia's Indigenous adventuring community will be ongoing and we plan to feature Indigenous adventure articles in as many future editions as possible. We're already looking at an Indigenous kitesurfing story on the Daintree coast and trekking in the footsteps of Jandamarra, an Aboriginal freedom fighter in Western Australia.

“We believe it's a first for any outdoor magazine – to theme nearly an entire edition along Indigenous lines and specifically to focus on Indigenous adventures, says editor, Patrick Kinsella.
