More than Art - Indigenous Community - Private Tour - 4WD - Half Day

A dusty, corrugated straight dirt road, sometimes interrupted by a curve, a dip, a floodway even though it rarely rains.  Takes you through expansive cattle stations, sparsely populated with brumbies.  Arrive at a remote Indigenous community where residents live on their traditional lands but for others, they’ve made it home as a result of displacement.  So many stories to tell of traditional and contemporary life.   An opportunity to meet and talk with Elders or adults in a space they’ve created to express, speak in language, share truths, work to provide income for families, laugh and inspire.  The achievements of these artists will blow you away.  Their designs feature on the swaying carriages of the Ghan Train, the carpet when you arrive to collect your luggage at the Alice Springs Airport, the winning guernsey of the Melbourne Football Club – Demons AFL Indigenous team.  Take time to step out, see and experience another way!

Please Note:

* Visitation to Indigenous communities or meeting with Indigenous Peoples is dependent on the local community, organisation, business, family group or individuals.  Arrangements with Indigenous Peoples are not guaranteed should cultural and family obligations arise. Should an arrangement become unavailable, surrounding landscape, natural beauty and adventure remains a fulfilling and special experience. Thank you in advance for your understanding and flexibility.
