The Larrakia people have held a deep spiritual connection with the land and sea, and ancestors for thousands of years. The Larrakia people still follow their ancestors' ancient traditions. As traditional owners of the Darwin Region, Larrakia people feel great responsibility for those who visit their land.

The Water Blessing and Smoking Ceremony is a unique opportunity to you to immerse yourself in a beautiful world of Aboriginal culture, to be accepted by the First Nation People and be introduced as a welcomed guest to the land, sea and spiritual ancestors of the Larrakia Nation through the beautiful ceremony what they call Welcome to Country.

Soon after the Water Blessing and Smoking Ceremony, there will be a Cultural Food Expo from over ten different countries and cultures, for which everyone is welcome to enjoy cultural food.
