It’s all about authenticity at Tjapukai Aboriginal Cultural Park, the place to come for invaluable insight into Aboriginal culture. Back in 1987, a play was written about the ancient spirit of Barna. Performed by a modest group of black and white Australians, it was an instant success. That performance led to the creation of what is now the largest employer of indigenous Australians in the country. They impart their knowledge through interactive demonstrations, music, dance, food and arts, taking visitors on a journey from the Dreamtime to the present day. Technology, tradition and a passion for sharing come together at Tjapukai Aboriginal Cultural Park, a must-do day trip when visiting Cairns.
