Gunbalanya Open Day - Stone Country Festival
Share the culture and hospitality of the Gunbalanya (Oenpelli) community.
The community of Gunbalanya (Oenpelli), through its traditional Aboriginal owners, welcomes visitors to spend the day in their community and share the culture of the Kunwinjku-speaking people of western Arnhem Land. Gunbalanya is located 320 kilometres east of Darwin and can be accessed via Kakadu National Park. The open day features a football carnival, scenic flights, cultural dancing, spear throwing, weaving demonstrations, bush foods, didjeridu-playing demonstrations, children’s activities and novelty events. Other highlights are a tour of Injalak Hill to view ancient rock art, some of which have been dated at 20,000 years old, and a concert of contemporary Aboriginal music in the evening.
The normal permit that is required to enter Arnhem Land is waived for the open day and visitors are invited to camp the night, as long as you depart on Sunday morning. Note that no alcohol can be brought into the community.
