​Narana is a not-for-profit organisation which provides an educational and tourism focussed destination committed to offering a welcoming introduction to today’s’ Indigenous culture.  Narana seeks to build an understanding of Aboriginal histories and culture in a welcoming, friendly and relaxed atmosphere, through personal interaction with groups and individuals from all community backgrounds.  Celebrating the world’s oldest living culture, Australia’s shared heritage and dual responsibilities, Narana encourages reconciliation and respect of culture through helping to create positive models for engagement and important dialogue around issues of National Reconciliation.

“Narana” means to deeply listen and understand, in which you take in and give out. It is this concept of listening and understanding which underpins Narana’s mission to be a destination for cultural education and tourism activities. 

Cultural Education programs are delivered by expert staff who will fill your mind with the wonders of Australia’s Indigenous Culture, connection to the land, spirituality, laws, cultural designs, Dreaming stories and more. Programs are developed to suit the interests of the visitors to the center, whether they are primary school children attending our popular School Holiday programs or business people on ‘time out’ from a conference.

Enjoy the stories of the painted ceiling that speaks the stories of the Dreaming, the creation of the land, and what happened to indigenous and non-indigenous people since 1788.

​Cafe Narana offers a menu that incorporates indigenous and non-indigenous ingredients. Relax by our warm, open fire and enjoy a delicious barista-made coffee with an indigenous inspired cafe or one of our famous wattleseed scones with jam and cream.
