The Great Tropical Drive weaves through the traditional lands of over 20 distinctly different tribal groups each with their own set of customs and beliefs deeply imbedded in the landscape. Pass through this treasured part of Australia and rediscover the deep spiritual ties between people and nature through Indigenous food, art, dance, the wisdom of elders, and the rhythms of daily life. This is an essential experience for all Australians and visitors to our country, and an opportunity to enjoy the region’s unique culture that has evolved over many thousands of years.
The interactive map below details the southern highlights of the Great Tropical Drive. Red hotspots reveal aboriginal experiences that will entertain young and old. While Orange hotspots regale dreamtime stories that will capture the imagination and take you to another time. Be captivated by the story of the girl eating snake who carved the landscape as he slithered north, or the shooting star that led aboriginals to rescue castaway James Morrill.
