Some Aboriginal Gifts.

Published by Ian under Aboriginal, Art, Travel

As you know I’m about to go to Europe and I’ll be staying with some people, enjoying their company and hospitality. So I was thinking that I wanted to take a few gifts with me to say thanks but I want some better quality real Australian gifts rather than the Asian made Australian souvenirs that are out there. But What?

Aboriginal Gifts

Then I remembered John and the Aboriginal Gallery, Indij-N-Arts, he has around the corner from me. You may remember he was with me on Episode 13 of Your Story.

So I trotted around there and got a few genuine Aboriginal souvenirs from a man that supports the people that make them and is making a go of getting the aboriginal culture out there. I have some gifts and we spread the culture a little further.

I’m looking forward to giving these and a few other things away.

He has strong opinions on how fortunate we all are in Australia and how he is creating his own reality through the development of his Authentic Aboriginal Art Gallery in Brisbane. Continue Reading »
