From the town of Kuranda, we can transfer to the Pamagirri Aboriginal Center and take a walk through guided stations to witness spear throwing and didgeridoo playing. You may even try your hand at throwing a boomerang.

Aboriginal Australians explain their heritage through a Dreamtime Walk or stories about the land and animals based ion their nature-based spiritual belief system. according to the Dreamtime, spirit ancestors descended from the sky, emerged from the earth and sprang from the waterways. You can see references to these elements in much of the artwork.

There is also an opportunity to see the Pamagirri Aboriginal dancers perform and demonstrate skills in a traditional corroboree or gathering.
