"Didgeridoos and Dot Paintings An indigenous-owned art gallery located at the busy junction of the Arnhem and Stuart Highways a half hour outside Darwin, The Didgeridoo Hut prides itself on selling genuine Aboriginal artwork from remote Top End communities, with whom the owners Dennis and Janis have personal relationships. In fact artists often come to the shop to demonstrate their painting and didgeridoo making skills and to share their stories with visitors. The works on display are high-quality and overwhelming; thankfully, the friendly staff are very knowledgeable about the artists and their symbolism—spiral circles represent waterholes and tool imagery usually stands for a man or woman. The prices are fair, but some have a little bargaining room built in."
Was an interesting experience. The art center was cozy. Some schedule changes happened and the tour was delayed for 30min. Beside of that all fine. We could lear more of aboriginal people’s life and thoughts. Got a tiny bit of their long and deep cultural backgrounds Would not say I could learn everything in such a short time.

Very disappointed. Was hoping to see and hear more after 2 hrs of driving but it's just a small shack and there is very little information regarding the music, the instrument or the culture. The gentleman who was there just sat at one side and did his own things the whole time we were there without looking at us while we hunted for some information about the place.

An amazing collection of authentic Aboriginal Art from Northern Territory artists. I loved visiting, purchased a lovely canvas and met David who was painting while I visited. Highly recommend to all.

Janis is very friendly and has good, easy communication. Great range of paintings, didgeridoos and other art. Worth a look

A traditional, true blue, fair dinkum, Aussie shop.
No "made in China" crap!
Got to meet the local country men and had an awesome experience with the animals.
Couldn't ask for more.

Got a didge here about 15 years ago and always drop in when up in Darwin. My wife was so happy to meet the artist who did the work.

I come here every trip north but sadly it was closed when I went recently. I'm not sure if it had moved to the smaller premises next door but if it had it looks in a pie state compared to the original and the gate was locked.
