We work mainly with guides and Aboriginal groups who will take you into areas of the Northern Territory that would otherwise be inaccessible. You can learn about Aboriginal values and hear creation stories that add another layer to this already remarkable region of Australia.
About the Aboriginal people
The Aboriginal people are nomadic communities speaking a rainbow of different languages, few of which have ever been recorded or researched. They trod lightly on the land for 40,000 years.
Their lives changed forever 200 years ago with the arrival of European settlers. In Tasmania they were virtually wiped out, while in the major cities today — despite attempts at integration — Aboriginal communities remain largely marginalized.
Only in the past few years has recognition of their art and culture begun to surface in Australia.
