When on holidays it is always nice to take home a memento of the region or location that you spent your vacation and a piece of art work that you can put on display is always a good visual reminder for you. As Australia is known as the home of Aboriginals and their ancestors a piece of cultural art work is a very good choice of memento. There are a good variety of Aboriginal Art Galleries in and around the Port Douglas region that you wander thru and at different times speak with the artists and watch them at work. Your piece of Aboriginal art does not necessarily need to be a wall mural it could be a hunting instrument, a clay pot, a bark painting or even a musical instrument.
