Of termite mounds and gold nuggets.




One of the highlights of any trip should be a visit to the tourist information centre.
It is here that the pamphlets are gathered and simple souvenirs are bought.
Some of the better information centres even have cafés.
In Tennant Creek we are graced with two.
Nyinkka Nyunyu Cultural Centre and The Tennant Creek Battery.


No more of an alteration of ones historical background has ever been more life changing than that of the Australian Aboriginal and to ignore the effects of settlement and assimilation on these people is to ignore who the Aboriginal people are today.

One of the finest things about The Barkly is its diversification and multiculturalism and both are well represented by these two centres.
Both venues feature tasteful and educational presentations in comfortable and inspiring surrounds that create a relaxed ambiance.
So good are these venues that a full day is needed to do all their tours and view all their presentations. Nor should you expect to do it any quicker.
As a visitor to a unique and ancient part of the world, we expect that you would want nothing short of total immersion into a cultural experience that is like no other on earth.
All the tours are available at these centers with prior notice and would be included in any of Sand Frogs itinerary.
