PAMAGIRRI ABORIGINAL DANCERS TO VISIT JAPAN
FRIDAY 3RD JULY 2009
Three members of the Pamagirri Aboriginal Dance Troupe will perform in six major Japanese cities as
part of a sales mission promoting the Tropical North’s tourism industry.
Steven Green, Henry ‘Buster’ Brim and Gerald Lawson from Rainforestation Nature Park in
Kuranda, depart for Japan on Wednesday 8th July 2009, escorted by Tourism Tropical North
Queensland, and The CaPTA Group’s Japanese Sales Executive Kazu Nakagawa.
Organised by Tourism Tropical North Queensland in partnership with Continental Airlines and Jetstar, the mission will consist of workshops, consumer events and fun networking evenings in
Fukuoka, Hiroshima, Okayama, Nagoya, Tokyo and Osaka.
The main message of the mission will be that Cairns remains a fun and exciting destination, despite
the recent airline crisis which saw the region lose a significant number of direct flights.
The Pamagirri Dance Troupe was originally formed in 1993 following an expansion of
Rainforestation Nature Park’s already established cultural experience.
The troupe now performs 3 traditional dance shows daily, depicting animals, food gathering, and
hunting in a natural rainforest amphitheatre, with a Dreamtime Walk teaching visitors to play the
Didgeridoo, throw a boomerang and observe spear throwing.
Situated in the midst of World Heritage Rainforest in Kuranda, Rainforestation Nature Park provides
visitors with an experience of indigenous culture, Australian native wildlife and World Heritage
Listed rainforest all on one site.

Woodward on 0406 384 886 or 07 4041 9401.
