This place is the best for learning about Aboriginal history. The whole of Australia is originally Aboriginal land. Today, aboriginal people have a unique perspective of the cultural landscape and it is fascinating for locals and tourist alike to share in this rich heritage and modern understanding. The offerings at this centre are run and presented by local Aboriginal people.
