A hundred years ago, it was a village where the aboriginal "Atherton" people lived. The population is less than 2,000. Currently, 80% of the residents of the town are still indigenous. In the tropical rainforest cultural village, the local indigenous people will perform their own stunts for tourists. This is a skill in hunting in the wild, like throwing javelins and back-to-back marks, and the indigenous people are pretty good. It is said that at the time in the wild, someone hit the prey, there was something in the middle, there was no way to take it back, they would press a handprint of their own in place, next to it marked in English, passers-by saw this, know who the prey is, no one will steal it. In addition, they have their own ancient instruments and folk dances. This earthen instrument called "Dit Du Lido" can mimic the sounds of different animals when playing, and the sound of kangaroo jumping, which is quite magical. Their dances are very original, and you can guess one or two from the action even if you don't know the name, such as this dance is a mosquito repellent dance, and the indigenous people beat the ground and their bodies with leaves to drive away the mosquitoes, and the process is quite interesting.
