Top Didj Cultural Experience & Art Gallery, 7kms from Katherine and 22kms from Nitmiluk (Katherine Gorge) offers a genuine Aboriginal Cultural Experience. The Art Gallery showcases works by artists from the regions of Warlpiri, Arnhem Land, the Kimberley and the Central Western Desert. The Cultural Experience is run by Manual Pamkal, winner of the Tourism NT Brolga award 2013, for outstanding interpretive guide. Manuel is happy to pass on his traditions from Aboriginal contemporary life after playing a traditional welcoming tune on the didgeridoo. He will teach you the fine art of Rarrk Painting and give you the chance to paint your own masterpiece using a special brush made from a reed called Julk. This fantastic 2 ½ hour interpretive experience will provide many hands on activities such as:
• Learning about indigenous culture and art
• Paint a piece of Indigenous artwork
• Light a fire using two special sticks
• Throw a spear using a woomera
• Great Aboriginal Cultural Tour for the whole family
• Get to hold baby wallabies
