Yidinji country – The Yidinji people of the tropical rainforests of northern Queensland have a rich and vibrant cultural heritage. Explore how that vibrancy continues today through the expression of artists who use contemporary techniques to reflect on the past.

Authentic tours, guided by Indigenous people, are available on the foreshore of Cairns city, boat cruising to an exclusive Aboriginal Reserve, driving to ancient rock-art sights, or walking through lush rainforests or on a tropical island. Spiritual journeys such as smoking ceremonies that cleanse mind and body and divert bad spirits, learning from the wisdom of an Indigenous elder, or following the ancient song lines with the story’s owners, can be life-changing experiences and all are on offer. Visitors can also enjoy tribal dance performances, spear and boomerang throwing, or learning traditional hunting and fishing techniques.
