Top Didj Cultural Experience & Art Gallery

Directions

Try a cultural experience in Katherine with resident local indigenous artist Manuel Pamkal. Sit down with Manuel and listen to tales of tribal life, language, the hunting and gathering techniques, ceremony, weapons used and aboriginal contemporary life. Create your own Rarrk painting with Manuel using a special brush made out of a reed called a Jalk. You will also have an opportunity to light a fire using two special sticks and try your hand at throwing a spear using a woomera. It is a fun experience for all.
