Feel enriched and uplifted after this once in a lifetime experience with Top End Aboriginal artist Manuel Pamkal. Gain greater insight into his culture during his story telling, create your own artwork during a Rarrk painting class and enjoy a fire lighting and spear throwing session.
Situated at Top Didj & Art Gallery just outside of Katherine, this Cultural Experience gives you the unique opportunity to interact with Top End Aboriginal artist, Elder and Traditional Owner Manuel Pamkal. After he plays a traditional welcoming tune on the didgeridoo, gain insight into his culture as you discuss traditions from tribal life, language, his own family tree and Aboriginal contemporary life. Manuel will then teach you the technique of Rarrk painting before you pick up a brush and paint your own artwork to take home as a souvenir. Following this, you'll have the opportunity to participate in the ancient craft of lighting a fire by rubbing two extraordinary sticks together, as well as a spear throwing session. After the hands-on activities, feel free to look through the Aboriginal Art Gallery and mingle with the resident joey wallabies that tend to hang around.
Bookings are essential.
The Cultural Experience takes place inside, in the comfort of air-conditioning and fans. Only the spear throwing happens outside.

That’s 10% of the Australian population! When we started ‘doing’ experiences in 2001, Facebook didn’t exist; the iPod had just been invented; John Howard was Prime Minister; and Destiny's Child were popular (yikes!). We’ve been at this business of experiences for quite a while, so put your trust in us to show you a good time.
