Feedback From Our Visitors

Japanes Student Group

"We had a wonderful afternoon at Tjapukai.  The Dance Theatre was fantastic; the bush medicine workshop was interesting- it was good that the students could hold and look at the different berries and leaves and also for some try the sour plum; the didgeridoo was good too, everyone was quite surprised regarding the PVC pipe! We really enjoyed the Boomerang throwing with everyone even the Japan School Principal having a go!  One Japanese student nearly caught it too!"
