Spinifex Hill Studios

Top choice in West Coast Australia


Aboriginal art from Port Hedland and a considerable range of styles from Noongar, Banjima, Innawongka, Martu, Kariyarra, Nyiyaparli and Yamatji cultural groups from across the Pilbara, plus the Torres Strait Islands, are housed inside a striking building. Saturday is the best time to visit, with artists at work and coffee offered (a kind of 'open house'). Good to call before visiting.
