Ngintaka are very large lizards that lay their eggs deep in sandy burrows or termite mounds and their eggs are prized by the Anangu people of the Central Desert region for their high protein content.

Supporting community
Based at Yulara, on the outskirts of Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, the Gallery of Central Australia (GOCA) exhibits the work of new and established Anangu artists in collaboration with art centres across Central Australia, as well as independent artists and galleries. Through its artist-in-residence program, GOCA also offers visitors the opportunity to learn more about the creative process and the deeper meanings hinted at by the works.
‘By purchasing art, you are helping keep culture alive through the medium of painting and storytelling whilst getting something that's authentic to take home, because it’s not made anywhere else,’ says Gallery Manager Kathleen Agius.
‘We are one of the busiest galleries in Australia, which means visitors are always seeing something new—and they have a direct effect on the region because we send over a million dollars each year to Central Desert art centres, which essentially support whole communities.’
GOCA offers free tours of the gallery at 10.30am daily.

Creators at work
See artists at work during a tour of Waringarri Aboriginal Arts & Tours, at Kununurra, Western Australia. The wholly Indigenous-owned art centre supports and showcases more than 100 painters, printmakers, wood carvers, boab engravers, sculptors and textile artists.
The vibrant art centre celebrates and shares the rich culture and identity of the Miriwoong people during a 90-minute tour that begins with a Mantha—a warm traditional welcome. You’ll learn about ancient practices and the meanings behind the artworks, whilst knowing all proceeds from art sales and cultural tourism are returned to the community to support arts and cultural projects.
