Aboriginal cultural tourism is booming, and guides say it is a sign that we are finally ready for true reconciliation.
After a childhood "hanging around the elders all the time", she has been a TAFE teacher for more than 35 years and worked with her siblings to revitalise the Dhurga language.

The national platform fills a gap for international visitors who have found it hard to find and book Aboriginal experiences when they visit Australia.

Mr Sculthorpe also welcomes the growing interest and respect for Aboriginal culture from within Australia.
