 Entering one of our first stops, the Aboriginal
Art & Culture Center. |
 A pleasant welcome from Shane, one of the staff and
teachers of the Culture Center. |
 Some of the instruments and artwork at the Center, and
the ever-present David Hudson cd rack. The art at the center
was fantastic, and we got to see deals made with local
Aboriginal artists who came in off the street with paintings
of their own. It was good to see that a lot of the work at
the center really is from the immediate community. The
didges on the other hand... well, are imported from further
north, but the artwork is done locally. |
 On the left is Emmi, a Dutch medical student we happened
to meet up with both here, and in our hostel in Katherine.
On the right is Raylene Hudson, our guide on the Center's
half day tour. |

A glowing ghost gum tree in the Alice countryside. |
 The front of the Central Australian Aboriginal Media
Association, which seems to do a lot of good work. They've
put out a lot of cd's for Aboriginal bands, many of which
were recorded in their own studio, inside this building.
Also inside is a store, offices, a radio station, and
television broadcasting facilities! |
 Paul ah chee Ngala, head of the Culture Center AND Chair
of CAAMA, along with two of his children. Paul's very
friendly, and obviously doing a lot of good work for his
people. |
