subject: Exploring The Culture Of The Tnq Region In Laura [print this page] If you are interested in seeing some of the oldest cultural celebrations you need to visit Laura during the Aboriginal Dance Festival. In Quinkan Country, Laura there will be tribal dances and rituals performed that have come down through the centuries.
Located somewhat along the coast of the Princess Charlotte Bay, the Laura Aboriginal Dance Festival is perhaps the largest tourist attraction in the region. This event is most commonly held during the month of June as it is winter time in the region allowing the area to be free from lizards, spiders and snakes.
Of course the dance festival is only one of the unique Aboriginal experiences of the area. Laura is home to several public Aboriginal galleries that you will be required to file a formal application in order to gain access to. The Aborigines by nature are a private people who take their culture very seriously. Make sure that a visit to this region finds you respectful of their heritage.
And if you are interested in learning more about Aboriginal culture and the arts, than be sure to check out the Quinkan & Regional Cultural Center in Cape York. A visit here will help you gain further insight into this unique culture and why it is deemed as one of the oldest cultures in the world. And while in Laura be sure to explore by foot the Laura Heritage Trail. You will see an old jail as well as many relics that still remain from the days of gold mining.
Another sightseeing adventure lies just a few kilometers up the road. Allow time on your trip to Laura to check out the Lakefield National Park. It is the second largest in Queensland and can really make for a wonderful way to end your visit to Laura. Natural beauty surrounding one of the most protected and revered cultures in the world, it makes for an incredible combination and a trip to Laura should definitely be on your list of must sees for your next TNQ holiday.
