Great

Of course it is a tourist thing, but it is well done. Australia has a massive lack of proper cultural things (yeah pubs aren't culture). Buffet was good, at least they do something from the country, crocodile, kangaroo... with bush condiments. Aboriginal show was good too, I wish more aborigenes in this country were more involved in such things, foreigners like it.

Interesting experience at night

The food at the buffet was good and one could try crocodile and kangaroo if one wanted to, but there were plenty of other options and dessert, too. The show outside, especially the fire ceremony, are quite cool to watch during the night. Make sure to put on some insect repellent, though. The didjeridooand the dance performance is unique and especially the time after, when one can have a chat with the performers, really made my day. Some of the parts of the night show are the same as from the day show, so it is enough to visit one of the two. One could argue about the price if one sees that it is way cheaper to get in during the day.
