I nearly did not go and am so glad I made the time, I was due on a boat tour and the only recommendation I make is allow more time. There... More

it was so interesting and the staff in the gift shop were lovely. It gives you the other perspective on history that is not taught in schools about aboriginals

You need some background information to see the world through aboriginal eyes and this centre provides it. Although seemingly primitive, Aboriginal society is very complicated with many social rules which are completely alien to us. In some ways, they live in a different world even a different planet.

The centre is educational and informative and the displays very well laid out. Much more worthwhile visiting than the Kakadu Visitors Centre, which is not that interesting at all. Culture and history of the indigenous people well presented. It would, however, have been enjoyable to have some more direct interaction with the traditional owners. Seeing well presented displays and detailed... More
