24.01.2022 Today is International Dance Day, celebrating bringing people together with a common language - dance, across all political, cultural and ethnic barriers. Until COVID19, Tjapukai was renowned as Australia’s longest running stage show. We can't wait to hit the stage again!!

10.01.2022 Reflecting the beautiful World Heritage rainforest of Tropical North Queensland, the Canopy Breezeway is an airy and light-filled Aboriginal Art Centre and event space, hosting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art exhibitions and showcasing significant Indigenous artifacts. The 2 metre single-grass dilly bag was created by Djabugay elder Rhonda Brimm and professional weaver Rene Bahloo. Dilly bags were used by the women to carry food and other objects and this giant one ...is an educational piece for the bush food guided tours. A series of shields hang on the wall depicting the designs common to the Djabugay people. These were painted by Tjapukai performers including Richard Bing and Phillip Oui, an acclaimed artist. Another of his shield designs is showcased on the bus stop outside Tjapukai. #djabugay #aboriginalart #aboriginalcrafts #cairns #queensland #holidayherethisyear #supportlocal

08.01.2022 It is with great sadness tonight that we inform our valued customers that the decision by the Federal Government to restrict the opening of ‘places of social gathering’, has meant that Tjapukai Aboriginal Cultural Park has today temporarily closed until further notice. We appreciate that this is a difficult time for so many in our community, and all over Australia and the world, and we will now wait out the crisis, and look forward to a day when we can once again welcome visitors to our park. In the meantime, shake a leg - stay healthy!

07.01.2022 Today is the International Day of Families.

From our family to yours, stay safe and take care!

07.01.2022 Today is International Woman's Day. Celebrate women's achievements, raise awareness against bias and take action for equality. Women play a big part in the delivery of our cultural experiences at Tjapukai and we applaud them. #IWD2020 #EachforEqual #queensland #cairnsholiday
