The Aboriginal way of life is amazing. How these people lived in our vast land is intriguing and this is no better encapsulated than through the Dreamtime Cultural Centre. Loved it.
Dreamtime Centre
Drop into the Dreamtime Cultural Centre, 6km north of Rockhampton city, to explore the Aboriginal and Islander heritage of Central Queensland.
Set within 12hectares of native trees and plants, take a guided Aboriginal Dreamtime tour and learn more about the original occupants of the land, the Darambal Tribe. There is a replica burial site, rock art, gunyahs and traditional ceremonial sites. You will also learn how to throw a boomerang and maybe even get it to come back.
Listen to the sounds of live didgeridoo playing as you walk through the 34m display of recreated sandstone caves and browse aboriginal arts and crafts. The centre is open Monday-Friday from 10am-3.30pm. Regular tours leave from 10.30am.
Getting there:
Bruce Highway, North Rockhampton Ph 4936 1655 Rockhampton is situated 630km north of Brisbane and easily accessed by train, bus and air.
By train:
Catch The Sunlander, Tilt Train or Spirit of the Outback to Rockhampton. To book your rail adventure call Traveltrain Holidays on 1800 627 655.

I attened a conference at Dreamtime Cultural Centre, and took some time out to have a look around, and loved it. I also stayed at the motel, and the service was very good. I plan on taking my family to the Cultural Centre next time we are in Rocky

This looks like a good reason to stop in at Rocky rather than driving through.

The Dreamtime Centre is a magnificent place where you can truly appreciate and experience the culture of our indigenous people - a real trbute to teh original inhabitants of this great country - we should celebrate this heritage much more and pay respect to Australian heritage.
