DREAMING of KAKADU
"Hi,
I'm Jenny; that's my brother Fred on the spotlight boat above, and me next to the
campfire weaving a basket. It's easy, I'll teach you, anyone can do it! Maybe
you want to learn how to throw a spear, play the didgeridoo with the boys,
experience Kakadu's only night wildlife boat cruise, or try our 3 course dinner
cooked on the coals. And if you want to camp the night with us, we can put you
up in one of our deluxe safari tents.
We have got lots of new tours happening in 2008, some operating all year round. Look at our website
and check out our photo album to see how you can have a close-up experience of
Kakadu's living Aboriginal culture and amazing wildlife. So c'mon, we'll get the fire going, boil the billy
for a hot cuppa and have a chat!
We're way out bush in the middle of Kakadu,
you'll love it!
Any
questions? Just e-mail us or give us a ring. We look forward
to welcoming you to the Kakadu Culture Camp. See you soon, Boh Boh; that's
Goodbye in our Gundjeihmi language!"
