ABORIGINAL BUSH TRADERS
Situated in the historical Lyons Cottage along the Esplanade, Aboriginal Bush Traders is one of Darwin’s most unique attractions. Our retail gallery exhibits a range of authentic Indigenous products, and is complimented by our Café, which focuses on using native Australian products and bush tucker in our menu.
Aboriginal Bush Traders is 100% not-for-profit.
EXHIBITION
BUSH BLING
Bush Bling is an exhibition of contemporary Indigenous jewellery bringing together Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander jewellers from remote islands to major cities, united under the roof of Aboriginal Bush Traders in a celebration of craftsmanship, skill and diversity.
COLLECTION IN FOCUS
ANINDILYAKWA ARTS
Delicate and surprisingly weightless, these exquisite objects incorporate Yinumukwena shells and silks dyed with the intense, black Marringmurnumuna pigment.
CAFÉ
For 40,000 years Aboriginal people have been harvesting bush tucker; today Aboriginal Bush Traders is serving it up with a modern twist! Native Australian products are the showpiece of our cakes, teas, dampers, jams, sandwiches and salads.
Visit us at historic Lyons Cottage in the heart of the CBD for Breakfast, Lunch and Coffee.

OUR STORY
Art, culture and bush harvest products are integral to our communities and have strong potential for creating jobs and developing our communities through Indigenous tourism. Ironbark Aboriginal Corporation established Aboriginal Bush Traders in 2008 to support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who want to engage in these economic activities in a sustainable way.
