Our cultural packages have been designed to meet requirements for school cross-curriculum priorities in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Histories and Cultures, and can also offer opportunities for workplace learning and development.

Our cultural packages can be customised to meet your interests and group needs and can be inclusive of the following activities:

• Storytelling and language
• Art and cultural activities
• Traditional games
• Indigenous inspired food
• Personal and community histories
• Aboriginal cultural tours: land and water

Our unique packages offer interactive activities and educational development, starting at $299 per person.

"History, culture, community connection and food – all great!"
