  • Overview
    Spirits of the Red Sand is an immersive Aboriginal Live 'roving theatre' and dinner experience.

    Experience an evening of powerful storytelling, unique Aboriginal rituals and a hearty Australian Char-grilled feast. Perfect for families, couples, singles and those interested in getting to know about 60,000 years of on-going cultural practices.

    You'll journey back in time to the 1800's, walking through various interactive scenes where a live theatre performance will tell you the story of Jarrah and his brothers. This is a uniting story of how two cultures come together to form a nation. The experience is set within a 19th Century Australian village, the largest Pre-Colonial Aboriginal village where you will find authentic Gunyah (Aboriginal hut) dwellings.

    The village is alive with sights, sounds & activity of days gone by including weaving, carving, hunting, fire-making.

    You'll get to connect with Aboriginal culture like never before. Engaging all the senses through light and audio installations, the live theatre experience is brought to life via a cast of 18 direct descendants of the very family whose story you'll be walking through.  Throughout the show, you'll move between different sets and find yourself in the darkened theatre of the Dreamtime; a church; a jail and more - you'll be right amongst it!

    Spirit of the Red Sands is an entertaining and thought provoking performance. This moving theatre allows the audience to engage in the history of Australia‘s colonisation by the English and the history of the aboriginal people in this context. It is a moving performance presented by a talented cast, many of whom are direct descendants of the the family that the story revolves about. It ends on a very positive note heralding an era of acknowledgement of wrongs, forgiveness and a willingness to merge two cultures to create one society. It is thought provoking, lingering long after the performance is complete. This is followed by a photo opportunity with the cast and a wonderful 3 course meal which includes the opportunity to sample some traditional aboriginal foods. Absolutely well worth attending! Highly recommended...

    Great night out. The experience is very interactive and was loved by us and our kids. The story of clashing cultures hits home, but does it in a tactful way. The food was plentiful and was great. Highly recommended this to anyone who wants to learn about and experience a bit about our indigenous culture.

    The Wild Food Festival was fabulous. Pity about the pending lockdown. There was some beautiful kangaroo from the coals, emu dogs, fish, turtle cooked by the peoples who have inhabited these lands for 50000plus years. I purchased authentic artwork from the artists. Took a walk through the bush Tucker garden which was opened today. Stay safe you mob and please can vaccinated to protect our communities.

    Powerful and at times heart breaking. Brilliant cast and crew, really enjoyed myself despite the rain. The government should fund this group to teach Gold Coast schools the history of first nations people. Keep doing what you do team, it was such a privilege to attend. Food was delicious too!

    One day I went to the Welcome to Country Aboriginal Experience activity. It was my first contact with the Aboriginal world. The activity was really entertaining and interesting. They taught us different types of boomerangs (being able to paint one ourselves later), we learned about their customs and some words in their language, they explained things about their culture,... In short, after this I was left wanting more and the next day I went to The Evening Experience. An Aboriginal show that aims to teach you a little more about their history. Super recommended if you want to know more about the Aboriginal, counted and represented by themselves. Based on a real story that leaves you thinking a lot... And from dinner I can only say that it was spectacular, it was long since I enjoyed a show with dinner so much. Thank you very much to everyone who makes this possible. Highly recommended!!!
