Be taken through the successful arts and crafts centres and see the artists work. You also have the opportunity to purchase Tiwi arts and crafts and screen-printed fabric at island prices.
Spend some time with some Tiwi Ladies enjoying billy tea and damper while they work on their weaving and painting, join us as they show you their totem dances. Set out for a scenic drive through the wilderness of Bathurst Island. Visit a picturesque lookout, which is also the setting of a Tiwi burial site, and learn some of the complex rituals associated with the Pukamani Poles (burial poles).
