Aborigine band to perform at Ayers Rock Resort

Drum Atweme have been confirmed to perform at Ayers Rock Resort in April.


Visitors to Ayers Rock Resort next month will notice that the Northern Australian destination will be alive to the sounds of Aborigine drumming, as Drum Atweme will be performing from April 8th to 10th.

These performances will give British travellers yet another reason to book flights to Australia, and visit this famous outback region.

Drum Atweme literally means 'hit the drum' in the Arrernte language of Central Australia, and members range from six to 16 years of age.

The group was formed in 2004 to meet the needs of at-risk Aboriginal youth that were interested in music, especially percussion.

Their performances feature a fusion of rhythm and dance from around the world with the voices of their own culture, while the songs and stories are based on their own sense of cultural identity.

Ayers Rock Resort to support Earth Hour

Northern Territory holiday destination Ayers Rock Resort has signed up to WWF's Earth Hour.

Passengers on flights to Australia on the night of March 26th may notice that the country is a little darker than usual, as a main holiday resort has signed up to WWF's Earth Hour.

Each year on this date many of the world's major landmarks are plunged into darkness for one hour in order to raise awareness of climate change.

This year, they will be joined by Ayers Rock Resort, where guests will be treated to a special night of eco-friendly fun.

Stargazing, live acoustic entertainment and animal walks will all take place from 7.30pm to 9.30pm on the night, in conjunction with the nearby Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park.
