A truly unique Australian Experience - Music. Fire. Dance.

Take your family on a journey into the past in a sacred setting beyond theatre, a true sense of place.

Malkgulumbu (Beswick Falls), a hidden treasure on Jawoyn land in the South West corner of Arnhem Land. An ancient playground, this incredible site is open to the public just once a year when the Wugularr Community invite you to share songs, stories, dance and music.

The Djilpin Arts, the creative company led by Tom E. Lewis, and supported by the Australian Shakespeare Company, blends music, dance, puppetry, animation, short films and burning 3D images blazing against the night sky. The corroborree ground is a theatre, with a fireplace as it's centre. 'We warm our spirits at the fireplace and around it, and we pass on the stories and sing the songs and thus keep our history and our culture going. Therefore the listening ear and the watchful eye of you in the audience are as important as the people singing and dancing.'

A limited range of local art will be available at the falls. The full range can be browsed at the Ghunmarn Culture Centre in the community, which will be open all weekend.
