Maalinup Gallery

 

Wanjue Noongar Boodjah (Welcome to Noongar country) Maali Mia presents Maalinup Gallery. An Aboriginal owned and operated enterprise situated in the picturesque Swan Valley just 30 minutes from Perth. Maalinup Gallery has a superb range of traditional and contemporary Aboriginal paintings, both framed and unframed. We make real returning boomerangs, authentic didgeridoos and clapping sticks in our own workshops. High quality Australiana gifts and souvenirs are also available including a range of beautifully crafted pewter wine stoppers, coasters, figurines and keyrings. Our selection of gifts and souvenirs includes: • carved and painted Emu eggs; • traditional artefacts, • hand carved animals in local timbers, • handpainted glassware, • woodware and terracotta; • Sterling silver jewellery; • "bush seed" jewellery; • aromatherapy products and printed stationery - all from local Aboriginal artists and suppliers. Enjoy our range of easy listening didgeridoo music available on CD or tape. You can learn to fly your boomerang on site (weather permitting) and pick up the basics on how to play your didgeridoo.
