Major Attractions of Ord Valley Muster
A person who has returned from a trip to Australia has many things in his or her memoir; a lot of things to pen down in his or her travel experience diary; descriptions of the eternal beauty of the white sandy beaches, about the adrenaline rush that he or she had got while trying water sports, about the camping experience at the national park, about the meetings with the koala and the kangaroos, about the urban life of the cities, about the beauty of the 12 Apostles, Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Great Ocean Road, about the shopping spree at the Victoria Market and your wonderful memories of the Aboriginal Art Festivals.
Every experience counts and every place has something different to offer, but the experience at the Aboriginal Art Festivals is priceless. The Aboriginal Art Festivals are a delight for those who want to get up close and personal with the Indigenous Australian culture.
With these Aboriginal Art Festivals, the natives of Australia laud their past culture. The Aboriginal culture has been a part of Australia for ages and the Australians are still deeply rooted to it. To bring alive the Indigenous culture, they celebrate many Aboriginal Art festivals round the calendar, one of which is Ord Valley Muster.
This two weeks extravaganza is a celebration of talent, diversity and spirit of the Kimberley. This festival is celebrated with a great zeal with live concerts, good food, tours, art exhibitions and what not. Every year, this event witnesses a gathering of thousands of people.
