Then, you can explore the Mossman Gorge rainforest together with an experienced driver/guide for a walk through this ancient environment. Learn about the local Kuku Yalanji people’s special relationship with the land here.Upon return to the Mossman Gorge Centre, enjoy a delicious lunch at the Mayi Café. Then, go toJanbal Gallery for an art class with Aboriginal artist Brian ‘Binna’ Swindley, where you can learn ancient Dreamtime stories, local history, and how these are shared through their art. Create your own unique souvenir to take home with you in the form of a canvas you paint with the guidance of Binna to tell your own story with techniques you will learn. Finally, once the tour is over, you will be dropped off back at your hotel.
