Aboriginal Tourism Victoria

Kirrit Barreet (meaning place of creation) Aboriginal art and cultural centre is an art and cultural centre that exhibits high quality local and regional contemporary and traditional Aboriginal art and craft. The centre was established by the Ballarat Aboriginal community as a way to preserve cultural identity and inform non-Indigenous people about both Koori culture and the local Wathaurong tribe.

Kirrit Barreet is also an education centre. Visitors to the Aboriginal owned and operated centre can enjoy educational tours, cultural talks, an art gallery profiling Victorian Aboriginal artists and a retail shop that stocks a wide variety of predominantly Victorian arts and crafts, including an extensive bookshop and educational resources. Activities such as didgeridoo playing, boomerang painting and throwing are available.

We also have an Indigenous plant garden and feature garden for all to enjoy.
