Customize Your Foray Into Aboriginal Heritage

Take your pick from the following two options for your Daintree Dreaming tour -

Aboriginal Art & Culture

Visit the Janbal Gallery for a 1.5 hour painting class conducted by the Aboriginal artist Brian 'Binna' Swindley. Learn about the local painting techniques as Binna regales you with Dreamtime tales of language, environment, and animals. Learn how Aboriginal stories are told through art, and enjoy the chance to go home with your own painted canvas.

The experience also comes with a lunch, every morsel infused with the delicious local flavors at Mossman Gorge.

Aboriginal Traditional Fishing

Head towards the traditional fishing and gathering grounds of Cooya Beach, along with a Kubirri Warra clan member. Watch closely as they demonstrate and teach ancient techniques that still sustain the families of the Kuku Yalanji tribe. Afterwards, indulge in the taste of homemade damper on the idyllic beach.

Discover the Delights of Nature and Culture at Mossman Gorge

After your chosen experience, head towards the Mossman Gorge Centre and participate in the traditional welcome-to-country smoking ceremony. Partake of lunch (only for the Aboriginal Art & Culture experience) before embarking on a interpretive walk through the lush Mossman Gorge (Manjal Dimbi) rainforest. Admire the beauty of the ancient environment as your Aboriginal guide enlightens you about the special bond the Kuku Yalanji people share with the land.
