                            there is a strong recognition of Australia’s diverse
                            cultural heritage, and the work of museums,
                            galleries and libraries and archives to preserve
                            and provide access to the artefacts and intangible
                            heritage of Australia’s culture. In particular,
                            Australia’s heritage includes Aboriginal and Torres
                            Strait Islander cultures which are amongst some
                            of the oldest living cultures in the world.
