Tjapukai (http://www.tjapukai.com.au/) Visit
This was amazing - we learned so much about aboriginal life.
We learned about their belief on the creation of earth, we were able to see how they pass down stories and history through dance and song, we learned about their vast knowledge of the benefits of rainforest plants for health and medicinal purposes. The kids enjoyed learning to throw a spear and a boomerang under the watchful eyes of the local aborigines.
This is a must do event if you are in the Cairns area.
"Good Day"
The Diversity of Aboriginal Tribes
Didgeridoo
Spear-throwing lesson
The music of the Didgeridoo is enchanting - this musician was gracious to take picture with the kids at the end of his performance.
A half-day at this park was not enough! We had a pre-determined pickup that couldn't be changed - I would recommend a full day here if possible.
After our way too short visit to Tjapukai, we spent a much needed afternoon at the pool. We have been going full-tilt since day one of this trip. There are so many wonderful things to see and do that there is little time to just sit, which in all honesty suits my family. We are doers! You may see an occasional beach vacation on my blog, but I would venture to guess that it will be rare!
