About
Murrook Cultural Centre is situated on Nelson Bay Road Williamtown NSW. It's purpose is to gather, sustain, protect and teach Aboriginal Culture to all people with an emphasis on Worimi culture being the land and people of this area. We have Aboriginal people teach various groups, from schools (pre, primary, secondary and uni/tafe), to community, business & government groups and international visitors. Most importantly, Murrook is used by our Aboriginal community as a gathering place. Aboriginal staff teach many facets of our culture, from boomerangs, weapons and tools, didgeridoo, communication like art and dance, bush food medicine, cooking, craft (basketing weaving, beading), artefacts and much more. We at Murrook seek to deliver a sound, authentic and relevant cultural experience to our visitors helping them to see Australia through the eyes of an Aboriginal.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Murrook offers the most amazing Cultural experience in Australia. Connecting to Country and Truth telling by local community and Elders will change your worldview for the better. Engage and walk with the local Worimi Peoples as they share their stories and Dreaming.

Students walked the sand dunes and explored the rich culture and history of the Worimi people. Our guide shared his knowledge with great passion in teaching us about the dunes, the local history and the four pillars of Aboriginal identity. Digging for fresh water and inspecting spear tips sourced from Whibayganba (Nobbys Head) were a highlight.

After seeing shops selling boomerangs (made in China) and aboriginal Art Work for 1000's pounds/dollars with little or no history of the artists
HErE IS THE REAL THING
absolutley amazing collection of genuine, locally produced items for sale, great cafe / restaurant / staff who are for the most part aboriginal folk and can talk to you and answer questions with genuine authority. Just fabulous AND IT SHOULD BE A COMPULSORY VISIT FOR ALL TOuRUSTS who want to see some REAL culture.
