Discover East Arnhem Land with Intrepid Travel
Working in partnership with the Yolngu people, Intrepid Travel is launching a new community-based trip in the remote East Arnhem Land region of Australia's Northern Territory. With the Yolngu culture, customs and way of life being the focus of the trip, the experience will give travellers from near and far a chance to be immersed in this picturesque corner of Australia that is home to incredible cultural, linguistic and environmental riches.
Visiting the remote coastal communities of Nyinyikay, Bremer Island and Nhulunbuy (also known as Gove), the ancient culture of the Saltwater people is the cornerstone of this 7-day trip. Staying as guests of the Yolngu, travellers will get the chance to camp with Traditional Owners, hear some of the stories that are the lifeblood of the culture, learn how to hunt, fish, and learn about Dhuwa and Yirritja way of life, which will challenge many of us that live in westernised society.
“Nyinyikay is a very unique area, there’s not many places around in Arnhem Land that is like this, with big cliffs, with a view of water right at your doorstep. Yolngu have been living here for thousands of generations. The lifestyle’s changed a bit, but the knowledge is ancient.” says Marcus Lacey, a young leader of Yolngu Customary and Ngärra Law who lives with his family on the homeland community of Nyinyikay.
“This is a new day for us. We want to be able to use tourism as a vehicle for connecting with other people. Come here, sit with us, walk with us, eat with us. This is the real Aboriginal Australia.”

Tony Bilson and Djawa 'Timmy' Burarrawanga.mov
In a story of true reconciliation, a world-renowned chef
and an Indigenous traditional landowner met on sacred
homelands in East Arnhem Land to share, learn and
create something extraordinary for OLPC Australia.
The Bawaka Homelands are a pristine stretch of coast,
home to the Gumatj clan. The ocean teems with life
-- oysters and clams, mud crab and mullet -- all of which
can be plucked out of the water.
Having travelled over 4,220km to meet Djawa 'Timmy'
Burarrwanga, stepping onto the Bawaka Homelands
was, for Tony Bilson, like stepping into a new world.
The experience the men shared in their time together
was the beginning of a remarkable friendship. Together
they hunted, prepared food and ate over fires, exchanging
stories about their very different yet somehow parallel lives.
Inspired by this rare insight into the practices of the oldest
living civilisation on earth, Tony Bilson recreated his
remarkable culinary experience for guests at OLPC Australia's 1st Anniversary Dinner with a
menu that reflected tradition and incorporates techniques
for which Tony is famous.
Welcome to East Arnhem Land

Buyman And The New Car (Yolngu Matha)
With the help of superhero Buyman, this video shows you the some things to know when you buy a car. You don’t have to buy the first car you see. Make sure you take the car for a drive and get it checked by a mechanic you trust to make sure the car is ok. Ask the dealer how much the car will cost you and don’t sign any paperwork if you don’t understand. Take someone you trust with you to help, and ring NT Consumer Affairs on 1800 019 319 if you are not sure.
Repatriation of Indigenous materials in Arnhem Land
In 2008, as a response to a visit by a delegation of Arnhem Land elders to the NFSA, the Indigenous Connections team visited Yirrkala in northeast Arnhem Land in the Northern Territory, to repatriate audiovisual materials to the Buku-Larnnggay Mulka Multimedia Archive and Production Centre .
Cultural director Wukun Wanambi welcomed the team to their land and conducted a tour of the places depicted in the films that were repatriated, providing unique context to the visit and a new appreciation for the collection.
The NFSA recognises it is important for Indigenous peoples to be empowered to deposit, access, exhibit, research and repatriate audiovisual materials. We work closely with Indigenous communities to enable these partnerships to grow.

The project was assisted by university reference archivist Julia Mant and fellow academic Dr Aaron Corn. The project was funded by the Australian Research Council.
