Banjima Native Title Aboriginal Corporation has taken on the management of the Karajini Experience festival for the first time.

Event manager Richard Campbell said they planned on increasing the Aboriginal content.

“We want to see more tool making, more cultural story time, language, the bush walks, to understand what is out there from the Banjima people’s eyes not the eyes of other people,” he said. “So the engagement with the environment’s going to be very strong.”

Campbell said the date was now set at July 5 to 9 next year to coincide with NAIDOC Week.

This year’s Karijini Experience was scheduled for April but cancelled due to COVID concerns.
