This Gold Coast school holiday workshop delivers an immersive and engaging
insight into First Nations culture.

Aimed at primary school aged children from 4 - 12 years of age , the
experience begins with an Aboriginal art workshop. Children will learn about
the methods of Aboriginal painting and the symbols and their meanings and
create their own masterpiece to take home.

Following the art workshop, the group are taken on a short guided walk from
Jellurgal Aboriginal Cultural Centre through the gates of Burleigh Head
National Park and along the shores Tallebudgera Creek, where numerous
significant sites and environmental features have played an important part in
the lives of the Yugambeh speaking people for thousands of years. They will
learn about the Aboriginal history and culture of the Gold Coast and hear
fascinating Dreaming stories associated with Jellurgal (Burleigh Headland).

Tour price includes the Aboriginal art workshop and activity book for children
to fill in on their walk. Both their creation and their activity book can be
taken home at the end of the tour.
