Australian Aboriginal Art Tour
“With the current world shift in recognition of Australian Aboriginal Art and regular enquiries for both investment and pleasure I have created an optional tour to encompass this new and exciting direction”.
Close Contact with Australian Aboriginal Art – Your Introduction.
Trevor Edwards is your
professional tour guide with over 20 years experience in the
travel industry. His own company, Toucan Travel, has been a
leading and innovative designer of specialized tours since 1988.
We maintain that private charter touring offers the highest level of flexibility, service and safety possible. Our one-day privately escorted 4WD charter tours make this city one of the great Australian experiences. Sydney’s history combined with Aboriginal mythology, natural history, unique ecology, its dynamic lifestyle and incredible scenery makes for a captivating experience. We have spent over 20 years perfecting our one-day private charter tours so that you can experience Sydney in comfort and style.
The State Art Gallery in Sydney – AGNSW, has one of the finest collections of Aboriginal Artworks in this country, on public exhibition. Your full or part-day private charter tour can include viewing and explanation of this collection.
Dr. Garry Darby is one of this country leading authorities on Indigenous Art, his acquisitions from various parts of this continent are eagerly sought after by private collectors. A private viewing and brief explanatory lecture on indigenous art for pleasure or investment at Dr. Darby’s home is a very rewarding experience. A national park, within one hours drive north of the city named Kuringai National Park is home to some very fine Aboriginal engraving sites. Nearby are some of the finest views of Sydney’s fabulous northern beaches.
Firstly, for those with a
limited time and looking to purchase investment pieces. Trevor
will meet you at your hotel to drive you to Dr. Darby’s home for
a private viewing of his collection; on the way Trevor will
answer your questions and unfold related aspects to
understanding this art form, then return you to your hotel
within a four hour time frame.
Alternately if your desire was only to view some of this indigenous art, while enjoying a privately escorted city tour, Trevor could include a visit to the state Art Gallery‘s wonderful exhibition where he could give you an overview of these collected works. A more in-depth experience to gain a greater understanding of this art would be a combination of a visit to the AGNSW with Trevor to be followed by a visit to the home of Dr. Garry Darby. A privately illustrated presentation followed by a comprehensive discussion on Indigenous Art in this country while viewing his collection also gaining a greater understanding of the collectability and investment potential of these artworks. All the above could be combined in a full day private charter which could, if desired, along with an in-depth sightseeing city tour, encompass the Kuringai National Park’s highly acclaimed Aboriginal Engraving site, adding another dimension to this highly interesting day. Vibrant, exciting and highly sought after by collectors, this art warrants a close study and a better understanding. Dr Darby can assist potential buyers with advice on investment decisions in this increasingly competitive market for quality pieces.
Australia…Sydney…You’ve come a long way…….Do it right!
