Change Your Latitude > Tropical Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Culture
Tropical North Queensland offers some of Australia’s best and most awarded aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander experiences. There are various tours to enjoy that reveal the prehistoric and modern artworks, body painting, authentic artefacts, indigenous knowledge of bushfoods and medicines, customs and festivals of the Aboriginal, Thursday Islander and Torres Strait Islander people.
The Torres Strait Islands lie just north of Cape York, Australia’s most northern point, and south of Papua New Guinea. This unique location creates a fusion of Melanesian and Australian Aboriginal cultures. The Torres Strait Islands are comprised of 274 islands, of which 17 are inhabited with approximately 20 communities.
These islands and the surrounding reefs provide diverse habitats for marine life including dugongs and sea turtles. With beautiful, untouched beaches and crystal clear waters, a visit to the Torres Strait Islands will make you think that you’ve left Australia for another Pacific island paradise, but that’s simply what makes the Torres Strait so enticing, it’s proudly one of Australia’s hidden gems.
