A cultural tour run by Aboriginal families of the Wanmarra community, covering bush foods, traditional tools, dot painting and the Luritja language.
Karrke is run by Luritja and Pitjantjatjara Aboriginal families from the Wanmarra community, near Kings Creek Station. The roughly one-hour tour introduces visitors to bush foods such as witchetty grubs, the craftsmanship of making spears and wooden bowls, the symbolism of traditional dot painting, and kinship and language. The content is warm and down to earth, and it is one of the few Aboriginal-led experiences in the Kings Canyon area.
Advance booking is required by phone or online, and times vary by season. The cost is about AUD 80–90 per person (confirm with the official source).
