Bookme ReviewTjapukai Aboriginal Cultural ParkPosted by Justin Hernandez from Australia on 19 Jan 2020

  • Justin Hernandez said... If you are looking to learn about the indigenous aboriginal culture as practiced years before current civilization then this is the place to go. Modern day aboriginals live among today's society. The cultural dance was explanatory to help understand the story behind each move. The fire started by rubbing 2 pieces of wood together was quite impressive. The kids enjoyed learning about the boomerang and spear throwing. The even painted their own boomerang with a huge smile. Was disappointed there was no digeradoo player for the times on the program as it appears he had left early. An internet search resulted in Djabugay vs Tjapukai. After some discussions with aboriginals outside the venue it seems the owners changed the name to avoid paying royalties to the tribe (legal loophole). If this is true it's a shame that you can make money from their culture but not provide proper compensation. In today's world there are discussions about inclusion and diversity so we should do what is right.
