Manyallaluk artists produce paintings on didgeridoos, stringy bark, canvas and paper, using hand-made ochre pigment or acrylic paint in traditional colours. Baskets and mats are crafted from strips of pandanus fronds; dilly bag string is hand-twisted from kurrajong and sand palm fibres. These woven pieces are dyed with vegetable colour from several local plants; all these materials are located around Manyallaluk. Other handmade artefacts include firesticks, clap sticks, seed necklaces and some small painted carvings.
Manyallaluk operates a one-day Aboriginal culture tour Monday – Friday from 1 April through 30 November. The tour includes a visit to the Art and Craft Centre. The Centre is open for other visitors Monday – Friday in the afternoons during the April – November tour season and at other times by appointment.
