Tjapukai

One afternoon we took the two big kids to Tjapukai Aboriginal Park. It was a highlight of the trip. It was pouring rain (again) but everything was under canopies which got this excursion off to a great start! We started our aboriginal experience with traditional face painting. That is always a kid pleaser! The kids also participated in a special didgeridoo lesson, message rock painting, a dancing performance, dream workshop, and spear and boomerang throwing. What a way to teach the kids about another culture. The sociologist in me was in heaven. Besides, what is a holiday without at least a little education. (Yes, I know I am my mother's daughter!) Much to my pleasure, the kids have listed this educational experience as one of their favorite activities of the trip.
