The Narilijia and Bagul Bagul Tours are an ideal introduction to Broome's Aboriginal history and culture. Bart Pigram, our indigenous guide was a wealth of knowledge with regard to Aboriginal history and way of life in Broome. On the Narilijia Tour Bart led us through the town, revealing the complex relationship and multicultural spectrum of Aboriginal life up to the present situation. (Easy walking pace) On the separate Bagul Bagul or Mangrove Tour two days later, Bart literally walked us through the mangroves (with protective rubber boots for the thick mud) to look at spectacular aboriginal middens, taste rock oysters, try and catch mud crabs, experience afternoon light changes and hear about Aboriginal day to day life, all with the guidance of a young insightful mind. Moderate walking required with the ability to negotiate mangrove conditions. A great way to hear and experience Aboriginal perspective. Bart in particular was so refreshing in his forward thinking and complete dedication to his people and culture.
Bart you are a natural leader and a talented person. Well done!
