ABOUT US
WARRADJAN ABORIGINAL CULTURAL CENTRE
In Murumburr Country, near the lively Yellow water billabong, is our Cultural Centre, Warradjan. We take pride in all our local artists, the stories they bring us with their art and the rich history you can learn from our cultural museum. Our exhibit was created by the Bininj/Mungguy people, it tells the stories of our land, our people, our Dreamtime.
Warradjan is a place for community and visitors to gather, reflect and celebrate the Aboriginal culture that has been present amongst these lands for over 65,000 years.
Proudly on Murumburr Country
Traditional Owners, Jessie Alderson, Elizabeth Pettersson and Violet Lawson.
“It is important to preserve our heritage and history, it is our identity, it's who we are as Aboriginal people. Practicing it, living it, it's important for the next generation."
WHAT DOES WARRADJAN MEAN?
Warradjan is the Kundjeyhmi word for Pig-Nosed Turtle, an inhabitant of the nearby Ngurrungurrudjba (Yellow Water Billabong) and native species found within Kakadu National Park. This is significant not only for its name, but also for the salient shape of the building, which reflects circular gatherings and way of communication of Bininj/Mungguy people.
