For thousands of years, Aboriginal Australians have relied on bush tucker as a means of survival. Bush tucker encompasses a diverse range of native Australian plants that bear edible fruits, seeds, nuts, and more. Each of these plants holds ceremonial or cultural significance.

Our bush tucker workshops provide comprehensive knowledge about various native plants, including their preparation, consumption, and medicinal uses. Participants will learn valuable bush survival skills and gain insight into how our ancestors utilized these methods and their underlying significance.

Indigenous art revolves around the art of storytelling, serving as a powerful tool to convey the knowledge of the land, historical events, and beliefs of the Aboriginal people. The utilization of traditional symbols provides an alternative means of recording stories of cultural significance.

Learn directly from our experienced Aboriginal artist, Richard George Campbell, as he imparts the meaning behind these symbols and guides you in creating your very own Aboriginal artwork.

Weaving has long been utilized as a technique for crafting various tools, including those used for food, baskets, jewellery, fishing nets, and skin cloaks. 

Through the art of weaving, one can develop patience and understanding, recognizing how we, as human beings, are intricately woven into this world as delicate threads of the earth.
