The 2021 Karijini Experience is held
on the traditional lands of the
Banjima people in Karijini National
Park. Banjima people also have close
associations with Eastern Guruma,
Yinhawangka and Nyiyaparli Pilbara
language groups.
The Karijini Experience acknowledges Aboriginal people as
the First Australians. We are committed to reconciliation and
believe the Karijini Experience is an example of how we can
all respectfully celebrate the diversity of Aboriginal culture, its
people and the Traditional Owners of the land on which the
event is taking place.
We are honoured to deliver this Experience within the
stunning Karijini National Park and we ask that you respect
all Parks and Wildlife regulations including:
KARIJINI A STUNNING LOCATION

National Park. These can be purchased at the self-registration

WA website, with the opportunity to receive 50% off if you are an RAC

The Karijini Experience began in 2013
with the inaugural Karijini Dinner
Experience created by a small team
that wanted to activate the Karijini
National Park.
In subsequent years it has grown from a culinary event under the
stars attended by 75 people to a thriving annual multi-arts event
with a focus on celebrating local Aboriginal culture.
The Nintirri Centre Inc. is an innovative and progressive
not-for-profit organisation that delivers the annual Karijini
Experience together with the Tom Price CRC, a cog within the
diverse organisation. Our committed and passionate staff bring
together sponsors, content providers, volunteers and in-kind
supporters to produce this incredible celebration.
VISION
To be a cultural catalyst for connecting the community and
raising the profile of Karijini National Park and the surrounding
Inland Pilbara.

Tourism WA is a proud supporter of the Karijini Experience through its
Regional Events Scheme. The scheme was created to support smaller
and emerging events in regional Western Australia to boost tourism and
increase community vibrancy.
KARIJINI
The Regional Events Scheme also plays
an important role in positioning Western
Australia as an exciting destination to visit
and a great place to live by showcasing
and promoting a region’s unique and
diverse attractions.
To help regional communities rebuild their economies in response to the
COVID-19 pandemic, 77 regional events across the State have been funded
through the 2020-21 Regional Events Scheme. This includes the Regional
Aboriginal Events Scheme which has a funding pool of $150,000 exclusively
allocated to events delivering Aboriginal activities and experiences.
When people travel to regional areas they spend money which creates
jobs and supports businesses. In 2019-20 visitors spent $9.0 billion across
the State, 49 per cent of which was spent in regional areas.
SILVER SPONSORS
Events play an important role in this, and Tourism WA is proud to support
a range of sporting, cultural, arts and culinary events across the State,
to give people a reason to travel, encourage them to stay longer, and do
more while they are here.
We hope everyone enjoys this event and
takes the time to explore the Pilbara region.
