Tour Description

Ferry Crossing to Bathurst Island
Make your own way to Cullen Bay Ferry Terminal to board your ferry by 7.00am. Upon arrival at the Aboriginal community of Nguiu on Bathurst Island you will meet your Local Guide who will take you on a journey through the progressive, modern day Aboriginal community of Nguiu (Wurrumiyanga).

Indigenous Culture
Visit the museum with its interesting displays of traditional art and depictions of the Tiwi ‘Dreamtime’ stories and the Early Mission Precinct with its unique Tiwi style Catholic Church. Hear about the early mission days and learn how the Tiwi people have blended their culture with Christianity. Be taken through the successful arts and crafts centres and see where the artists work. At morning tea, we’ll spend time with some Tiwi ladies enjoying billy tea and damper while they work on their weaving and painting. Your Guide and the ladies will also demonstrate their totem dances and perform a smoking ceremony to bless the visitors.

Bathurst Island
Set out for a scenic drive through the wilderness of Bathurst Island. Visit a picturesque lookout, which is also the setting of a Tiwi burial site, and learn some of the complex rituals associated with the Pukamani Poles (burial poles). Learn about traditional bush tucker, bush medicine and natural fibres and dyes on your return to the community for your return journey to Darwin.
