Welcome to the Tjapukai Aboriginal Cultural Park.

When we arrived, Hailey, Anjaan (+wife) and me, we were welcomed warmly by a hand-made fire. Stunning :)

Then we all got Aborignial paintings. These were great, and we kept them all day :)

During our stay at Tjapukai Aboriginal Cultural Park, we learnt a lot about the Aboriginal culture (creation of the Earth, first human, etc.). First, we saw a holographic / acted show presenting their history and then we attended (and participated in)  their dance show. The Aboriginal music (digiridoos & percutions) is really entertaining and full of rythms!

After that, we had to try spear throwing - I did not do well :) - and the absolute come-back weapon: the boomerang (did you know: the aerodynamism of the boomerang was at the origin of airplanes wings design).

Green ants. Did you try the Green Ant tea? Delicious.

If you want to discover the Aboriginal culture alone, with friends, or with your family, Tjapukai Aboriginal Cultural Park is the parc you need !
