Cultural Camps

Join Noel Butler as he shares with you the vastness and depth of indigenous culture. With his guidance you will learn about the relationship Aboriginals have with the land and the central importance it places within the rich culture and traditions of the world’s oldest indigenous people.

As you weave together an understanding of Aboriginal heritage enjoy its telling through casual talks, lectures, field trips, song, dance and celebration of the spirit in the land. You might canoe on the river, walk through bush, explore the coastline or enjoy the beautiful bush setting of Jamanee Gunya.

An example of such a camp/program is as follows:
