Using sticks and echidna quills or spikes they painted pictures, painstakingly made up of thousands of dots, depicting hunting or food gathering with traditional Aboriginal symbols embedded.

Today, talented artists continue to depict the stories of their land, environment and lives in paintings and crafts. The dots represent a tribute to the ancient heritage and rich Indigenous history of the entire Northern Territory region – deemed one of the oldest living cultures in the world.

In traditional Western Desert art, this dot icon symbolises a camp site or meeting place. The first people of the Northern Territory gathered and held meetings in locations deemed spiritually significant. We are continuing this tradition of connecting through stories, education and entertainment in places of wonder and cultural significance.

TELLINg STORIES FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARSIndigenous Australians have been telling their fascinating stories for thousands of years. Without a written language the dot paintings were a way of visualising their Dreamtime stories.

They provide mutually beneficial opportunities, contributing towards sustaining these unique and diverse destinations and embracing cultural diversity.

corporaTe social responsibiliTy csr is defined as a commitment to contribute to the economic, environmental and social sustainability of a community. The nTcb believe passionately in the way csr initiatives can enhance business events and Uluru is a priority. We see firsthand the positive mutual benefits that such activities can bring when organisations choose to integrate a csr component into their conference, incentive or event hosted in the nT. csr engagement leaves a lasting legacy, with many projects contributing to the economy, environmental and sustainability of the community. This engagement also provides participants with an unforgettable opportunity to make strong connections with the local community; its land, ancient culture and people.
