Tjapukai Aboriginal Cultural Park

Tjapukai started as a co-operative partnership between six young men from the Tjapukai (people of the rainforest) tribe and Don & Judy Freeman, international theatre artists with a global background in producing community theatre.

Together, the group created the longest hit in Australia's theatre history. Portraying Aboriginal culture with dignity and pride, Tjapukai's presentation style blends age old tradition with modern theatre techniques. Traditional dances and the telling of Dreamtime legends merge with modern drama, illusion lighting, popular music and an ironic sense of humour.

Tjapukai was at Kuranda until 1996 when they opened the park at Caravonica on 25 acres of land owned by the Djabugay and Yirrganydji Tribal Aboriginal Councils. Visit for an authentic Aboriginal Australian experience. See the official Tjapukai website for more.
