Tiwi Islands Area
Home to some of the boldest Aboriginal art in the country
The Tiwi Islands, Bathurst and Melville, sit about 80km north of Darwin, Aboriginal-owned country with a culture distinctly its own. Tiwi art stands apart from other Aboriginal traditions, bold colour and pattern carried through painting, fabric and textile design that's earned genuine international recognition. Football runs almost as deep, a passion so strong it's sent Tiwi players into the AFL for generations. Visit with a Tiwi-led cultural tour to properly meet the people and the place behind the art, rather than just passing through. This is a genuinely different Australia, close enough to Darwin to reach in a single day.
