The arid zone garden

  Bush bananas (Mingarna in Warumungu) are one of the great variety of plants that will be included in the native garden landscape.

An arid zone garden will be created for Nyinkka Nyunyu with two traditional dance rings, for men and women's performances.

The landscaping shows different habitats of the Barkly region: spinifex and snappy gum country through which the Nyinkka traveled, a river feature marked by river red gums, and watercourse country around the men's dance area.

The garden features bush tucker and medicinal plants. All signs including plant identification are in Warumungu and English. Interpretive material explains the sacred site and different landscaping features. You can follow a story path around the garden, with sound polls creating the sounds of birds and animals from different habitats, children laughing and talking in Warumungu, and other sounds which might be heard around any Warumungu campsite.
