As soon as I stepped into the doorway the energy pulled me in, in a most playful embrace. I was swept up into another dimension psyche spinning with a cavalcade of stories competing to be heard.
It was a good 10 minutes before I landed again but still mesmerised by the vibrancy and diversity of the works on display.
I was moved to tears by the generosity of colour, heart and spirit by the artists, young and old.
There is something there for everyone.
Go there. Just go there.
Even if you don’t buy anything, the experience will stay with you long after you leave.
Congratulations to the Perridak Arts Mob. You’re a gift to the region 🖤
Always was, always will be Aboriginal land

A wide range of beautiful products, at multiple price points, making it east to find an awesome, locally produced gift for yourself or the family. The woman who assisted me on the day was also brilliant. Highly recommend.
