Anthwerrke Experience vs Explore Broome

Anthwerrke, the Arrernte name for Emily Gap, is a traditional site of major importance. It is part of the storyline for the Yeperenye, Utnerrengatye and the Ntyarlke caterpillars which are ancestral beings for the Mparntwe (Alice Springs) area. Arrernte people conceived in Alice Springs consider themselves direct descendants of these Caterpillar ancestors. Join Traditional Owners on an extended interactive journey of this special place.
