Elder Eddie: “The practise of acknowledging the traditional custodians of the land is an ancient custom of great significance that my people have performed over many generations. Almost lost to a culture that has survived 60,000 years, I’m so proud to see Spirits of the Red Sand perform this ritual in its most traditional way again”.

Now, for the first time in Australia, you as visitors and locals will experience the ancient ceremony of Welcome to Country & Acknowledgment of Country Aboriginal Experience within the environment of a pre – European Aboriginal Village. Not just a quick few words, but an amazing storytelling journey that allows you to feel Dreamtime in an interactive theatre, learn of and carry the message stick of acceptance to the Elder of the village, go through the soul cleansing Smoking Ceremony, feel the vibe of the world’s oldest continuous living culture to the sounds of the didgeridoo, ancient chants, dance and songs of the land. The only experience that brings you up close and personal with us, the Aboriginal of Australia. Prepare to enter the world of the Aboriginal. Yura (Welcome)!
