| Aboriginal Bush Traders is a community based, not-for-profit initiative that operates an Aboriginal Art and Crafts retail
outlet and an Indigenous tourism desk in the Darwin CBD. Through the Darwin Indigenous Tourism Hub, we work with a
number of Aboriginal owned businesses offering tourism products throughout the Top End region, offering customers a
range of Indigenous tourism experiences through one booking point. Aboriginal Bush Traders also offers a coordination
point both for consumers and trade enquiries for specialised cultural events or activities. We aim to develop and expand
the capabilities of Aboriginal Cultural Touring throughout the Top End, complementing our other community projects
including the sale of local Indigenous art and craft through our retail outlet at Brown’s Mart Reserve.
