Aboriginal Culture Tours
Exploring the rich cultural diversity of the Northern Territory Aboriginal nations makes for an intriguing stay. Aboriginals have lived in the Northern Territory for many thousands of years, evidence has been found indicating they have been here for over fifty to sixty thousand years, if not longer.
Aboriginal lands, including Arnhem Land cover almost fifty percent of the state and are controlled under arrangements with them and the Federal government. Permits are usually required to enter these lands, better yet, go with experienced Aboriginal guides on one or more of the many tours and cruises.
Places like Darwin and Alice Springs have a number of Aboriginal culture tours available, where you can learn about the food, the arts and way of life in the Outback from the indigenous perspective. These tours and sometimes cruises, can give you an added appreciation of this ancient land in places that is inaccessible to normal visitors to the NT.
