Culture

Witnessing Australia’s indigenous culture first hand is akin to a spiritual experience. Often shy, softly spoken and gentle, many Aboriginal people will welcome you into their world, leaving you with an unforgettable experience. Meet Arnhem Land’s Yolngu, who paint their songs, passing on tribal stories via bark and canvas. Fly to the exotic Tiwi Islands where artists carve some of the world’s hardest wood, creating beautiful reflections of nature. Go central and learn about women’s and men’s business, join a family in traditional food gathering and discover a deeper connection to the land. Cultural festivals illuminate the Territory, a full event calendar means you have the chance to join in. And for a taste of our international culture and strong Asian influence, hit any one of the cultural markets in Darwin and be transported to another world.
