            Abstract : 
This paper addresses the communicating of Australian Indigenous knowledge practices using a 3D game engine. It provides an overview background of Australian Aboriginal cultural heritage and how it has been traditionally articulated; the embedding of storytelling as a knowledge exchange medium in ´country´ (sacred and spiritual lands) re-presented in a game engine; and, notions of the efficacies of this method as a knowledge visualisation schema that has application in other fields. It will address some of the more inaccessible questions raised as key challenges for information visualisation in general.
