About

The Wardan Aboriginal Cultural Centre was developed by the Wardandi people as a place where they can share their culture with visitors, school groups and Aboriginal people from other areas, in an effort to increase understanding and reconciliation with the wider community. The centre offers a variety of activities designed to bring about a greater understanding of the historical, social and environmental issues affecting Australians. Activities include a one kilometre walk trail enhanced with bush tucker and medicine plants; tool making from natural resources, throwing of spears and boomerangs, art, face painting, interactive stories, dance and music.
