This is Australia’s newest and most spectacular interactive Aboriginal cultural live theatre show and dining experience. The first of its type in Australia, this interactive and informative show is an immersive experience that will both educate and enlighten you. 

This is your chance to experience an evening of powerful storytelling and unique Aboriginal rituals and learn a little more about the formation of 21st century Australia. Learn the history of this time and discover how two cultures came together to form this nation. 

You'll journey back in time to the 1800's, immersing yourself in the rich, sometimes saddening history of Australia and will get to enjoy a delicious char-grilled feast at the same time.

Engaging all the senses through light and audio installations, the live moving theatre experience is brought to life by a cast of 18 direct descendants of the very story you'll be walking through. Told by Jarrah, the only surviving member of three Aboriginal brothers, the story will take you through some of history's main events of the time.

Throughout the show, move between different sets and find yourself transported back in time. Find yourself in the darkened theatre of the Dreamtime; then a church; a jail and more. Set within a real 19th-Century Australian town with a church, pub and indigenous village with complete with authentic Gunyah (Aboriginal hut) dwellings, this 2.5 hours show is truly immersive.

Walk through various interactive scenes as live theatre tells the story of Jarrah and his brothers and experience the culture and tradition it envokes.

This is a uniting story of how two cultures come together to form a nation and you'll get to connect with Aboriginal culture like never before. 

Are you ready? Let the show begin.

All of the shows Aboriginal actors are direct descendants of Australian Aboriginal tribes and their families experienced many of the events they bring to life in the show.  Once the show has finished, there'll be the chance to speak with performers about the stories and history they have shown you as the cast mix and mingle with you during dinner.
