Every Sunday you can see a performance by Yidaki Didg and Dance at 12noon and 2pm. Performances run for 30 minutes in the Indigenous Australians exhibition. No bookings required.
Yidaki Didg and Dance promote Indigenous culture throughout Australia and the world. 'Yidaki' means Spirit of the Didgeridoo and traditionally comes from the Yirrikala people of the Northern Territory. The Yidaki (Didgeridoo) is now a universal musical instrument for Aboriginal people.
To celebrate NAIDOC Week each July the Museum hosts a range of activities and performances. NAIDOC Week stands for National Aboriginal Islander Day Observance Committee. Each school holidays there are some Indigenous Activities in the exhibition that kids can participate in. During October 2001, Indigenous Australian, Bill Wallace created a mural that visiting kids contributed to by dot-painting and hand prints along Bills original design.
