 Outstation
We meet in Darwin on the 2th june and then we drive in our 4wd Toyota to Jabiru in the Kakadu National Park, in the evenening we watch the sunset at Ubir rock and enjoy the beautiful rockart.
On the 3th june we will visit Nourlangie Rock to see the famous rock art, then we will drive to Gunbalanya Community were we will visit the art shop, before we travel further north to a remote Aboriginal outstaion. We will stay at this beautiful outstation until the 8th june when we drive back to Darwin. Those who want to can then follow The White Cockatoo Performing Group who now will be your friends to the big Woodford Dreaming Festival in Queensland.
 Cooking
 Swim in the river
Didjeridu master Darryl Dikarrna Brown will teach and play the Gunbork
repertoire for us. This is the traditional playing style of Central and
Western Arnhem land. We will craft our own instrument from logs which have
been cut and allowed to dry, which allows us to begin the work
immediately.We will also see a White Cockatoo Aboriginal Corroboree with
singing every night under the incredible southern stars. During our walks in
the bush we will see a beautiful country and take part of the daily life of
our friends who are traditional aboriginal people. We will get the chance to swim in the river and enjoy daily life at the outstation.

The costs of the vehicles, insurance, petrol, guides, fees etc in Australia
will be shared by the group. If you live outside Australia and Darwin there
will be an extra cost to get there. If you need any help with booking
flights etc, please let me know. I can also help you with booking
accomondation in Darwin.
This is not an organized tourist tour, which means that we all have to take
care of our own private insurances. We are a group of friends with a deep
interest in aboriginal culture. We want to share the cost of travelling
together, in a way that allows us to meet these people and get to know a
little about their remarkable culture through shared experiences.
(Accomodation*) In the bush we sleep outdoors in swags and tents. It is very
comfortable. Water, dry toilett and electricity is avaliable.
For information with regards to costs involved and booking contact Lars
Wallin or White Cockatoo.
