Near Cairns, a special Aboriginal cultural experience is now attracting tourists in increasing numbers and winning the highest tourism awards in Australia. The Tjapukai Dance Theatre is the only permanent Aboriginal theatre in Australia where traditional skills such as fire making, corroboree dances, and Dreamtime legends are performed daily. Body adornment and tribal artefacts are humorously explained to the haunting tones of the didgeridoo
Tjapukai has won a host of Queensland, national and international awards including the Pacific Area Travel Association Gold Award for Cultural Development for Pacific Rim countries and the US Film and Video Award. You can see a wonderful recreation of Australian Aboriginal Dreamtime at Tjapakai Aboriginal Theme Park, just a short journey from Mid City Luxury Suites, shows operate daily throughout the day
