In tradition body paint. That is awesome

“I haven’t seen grandpa since I was a young girl, how will I recognize him?”

I would love to see the face of the guy sitting next to him on the plane

This is so beautiful, honoring culture and family while smashing goals. True inspiration! โค๏ธ

What a beautiful memory that will be for her

Meanwhile i cant get my father go to the garage to lend me his tools

Family values run deep

This is just heartwarming, I love this side of reddit

What a wonderful culture to nurture family

I bet the Proclaimers are a bit pissed off now.

But it’s lovely when generations from different worlds are still there for each other.

That’s a lot of mod comments

Much respect. Meanwhile I canโ€™t get my cousins to drive 30 miles to visit…

pretty wholesome.

Aww. That’s so cute.

Made me smile

I know some peoples family donโ€™t work like this. Thatโ€™s some real family right there, they support and pull up no matter what๐Ÿฅน

This people and culture is civilisation heritage. Hope Australia preserves it.

Anyone else thinking of Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls when they see him?

As an Australian it’s kind of fucked that you’re using an image of an elder without their permission.

Traditional body paint is such a powerful form of expression. Really cool to see it showcased like this.

That’s really sweet. I love that so much honestly.

Who told him about the ceremony?

Awesome!!!

I want to hear her accent.

Dude is a mench.

That’s a beautiful memory to have!

How lovely is that, congratulationsโค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธ

We need to more stuff like this, the world doesn’t always have to be doom and gloom.

This is the best story I’ve read about on the internet. He just couldn’t possibly not be there for his beloved granddaughter and you can really see it in her eyes how overjoyed she is that he’s with her! I would love to know if she knew he was coming or if she turned around and there’s her grandfather, there to surprise her. It’s so heartwarming either way! ๐Ÿ’—

Excuse me: yours balls are showing. Bumblebee tuna

2000 miles!

Sheโ€™s beautiful

I like abba too but I wouldnโ€™t call my self original

Gettin’ from there to here
It’s been a long time
But my time is finally near

I will see my dream come alive at last
I will touch the sky
An’ they’re not gonna hold me down no more
No they’re not gonna change my mind
No they’re not gonna hold me down

Woooo wtf with the white face! I am so offuscate now!

But they protest Zwarte Piet

Does anyone know what the white is that heโ€™s covered in? Whatโ€™s the story behind it? Is it ceremonial, or is he always covered in it as an elder?

In Australia thatโ€™s next door

Deadly ๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿ’›โค๏ธ

Australians donโ€™t graduate college. They graduate from Universityโ€ฆ

He’s so black he’s gone white ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ˜Ž

>Gali is a Yolngu Mala leader, known as the Morning Star dancer.

>Despite feeling unwell on the morning of the ceremony the elder, who does not know his exact age, insisted on following through with the special group performance involving two of his granddaughters.

Took a break from his walkabout to see her achievement. That is a sincerely proud grandfather.

This is probably the coolest thing Iโ€™ve seen on Reddit.

Epic. I also had no idea aborigenes lived on some islands. I always thought it was a main land thing

Australia uses the metric system, so technically he traveled 3,219 KM
