Up next, at 4.30pm you will enjoy a 2 Hour Aboriginal cultural experience. During this experience you will learn about the different local plant usages, have a go at throwing a spear and more.

After the 2 Hour tour, dinner will be served on the deck overlooking the billabong while watching the evening sunset. After dinner, retreat to your self-contained unit in air-conditioned comfort.
