There are many fine Aboriginal orientated tourist activities within the Barkly region.
The problem with tourist and the Aboriginal people is that the tourist is usually on a time frame while the Aboriginal people are, in every real sense of the word, timeless.
This has made for a difficult pairing in the past. A ceremony performed for a tourist attraction is hardly a ceremony, yet the possibility of seeing an authentic Aboriginal ceremony is nigh impossible.
You can buy boomerang buy the dozen but the possibility of wondering the bush with an elder in search of the perfect tree root to make your very own #7 has been a non reality for most.
And what of the chance to speak one on one to a person of knowledge about there role in contemporary society.
The missing link in an authentic aboriginal experience is the barrier that is always present when meeting any culture that is significantly different from another, the barrier of understanding.
To have some time to talk with and get to know someone who has lived a way of life that is over 40’000 years old is difficult.
Sand Frog Tours will be the link between outback Australia and an Authentic Aboriginal Experience via Aboriginal organizations that wish to share their knowledge and their journey with visitors to their country.
