MANYALLALUK
The Dreaming Place

Manyallaluk Cultural Experience

The Manyallaluk community, 100 kilometres from Katherine, borders Arnhem Land, Nitmiluk (Katherine Gorge) National Park and Kakadu National Park. This is a unique community enterprise offering one-day hands-on cultural experiences to visitors.

The Manyallaluk One Day Culture Tour begins when you are picked up from your accommodation in Katherine at 8:00am and driven out to Manyallaluk to spend the day with the local Aboriginal people sharing their culture and giving you a hands on experience that you will never forget! On arrival at Manyallaluk you are greeted by your Aboriginal guides for the day. After a refreshing cup of billy tea the morning is spent on a short but informative walk where you are shown the bush tucker and bush medicines that are in season. On your return there will be time for a swim in the spring fed swimming hole before lunch that includes fresh damper, Barramundi and Kangaroo. Afternoon activities include traditional bark painting, fire lighting, spear throwing, digeridoo playing and basket weaving. You will be encouraged and welcomed to participate in all these activities. Return to Katherine approximately 5:30pm.
