"Our Land Is Our Life"
The people from Murumburr, Mirrar Gun-djeihmi, Badmardi,
Bunitj, Girrimbitjba, Manilakarr, Wargol and other clans
have combined to create an exciting and memorable exhibit.
"Come Look and Feel Our
Culture" The Aboriginal traditional land owners (Bininj)
of Kakadu National Park have wanted to tell the story
about their culture for a long time. Through the displays
and exhibitions you can gain an understanding of the
Bininj and their country.
Warradjan Gallery After
you have journeyed through the display and explored
the many facets of Bininj Culture, you can browse through
a gallery of arts and crafts from Kakadu, Arnhem Land
and Katherine regions, displayed for sale.
The majority of artworks
are produced by local artists of this country.
