Did you know....Aboriginal painting represents 99% of the timeline of Australian painting. Aboriginal people in Australia are now recognised as the largest producers of Art per capita. Over 50% of Australian artist are Indigenous and this coming from a group comprising only 3% of the total population. 

You will be welcomed by the sound of the Didgeridoo, an ancient instrument which will captivate you and set the scene of a rich cultural experience. 

"As with imagemaking, Aboriginal music also unites consciousness with the invisible laws and energy patterns of nature. Aboriginal art is perhaps most accurately described as a method for gaining knowledge of nature and its invisible Dreaming". An example is the playing of the didjeridoo, a long wooden flute, perhaps the oldest musical instrument on earth.
