The 30 minute scenic flight over to Bathurst Island is a treat in itself, but it's once you land that the real discovery starts. You'll see local artists, weaving, painting, totem dances, a smoking ceremony and a Tiwi burial site. You can share some billy tea and damper, swim at a local waterhole and learn about traditional bush tucker, bush medicine and natural fibres and dyes before returning to Darwin.
