———————————-
We went to Tjapukai Cultural Park where we saw aboriginal dances, didgeridoos performances and got to know more about the history of the aborigines in the north eastern area of Australia. We could also throw the traditional spears with a spear thrower and also throw boomerangs. While throwing the boomerangs one had to stand in a small fenced in enclosure so as not to be hit by a flying boomerang. Somehow a boomerang still found its way into the enclosure and just managed to strife Iris on her arm. Due to this, the aboriginal guy who guided the boomerang throwing gave her one of the boomerangs as a sorry. Such luck she has.
When we went back inside and looked at some paintings Iris then even got the boomerang painted by an aboriginal girl! Wasn’t that just nice. Now she has a very personal souvenir.
In the evening we had a free meal at The Woolshed and stayed there a bit to see how everyone started to dance, sadly my companions Iris and Pia had no desire to go onto the floor with me, so we left and went back home for the night.
