The Yolngu people are creating an exciting buzz with a new venture, writes Kay O'Sullivan.
LIRRWI TOURISM, NORTHERN TERRITORY
It is the home of the world's oldest living culture and the birthplace of Indigenous land rights, yet Arnhem Land has largely gone unexplored by white Australia.
But the Yolngu people of north-east Arnhem Land are changing that with their own tourism initiative, Lirrwi Tourism. The company's objective is simple: a closer understanding between non-Aboriginal and Aboriginal people and economic independence for the Yolngu people. The method is equally straightforward: tours that take us newcomers onto their homelands to talk.
