“Camping with Teddy and his family on Bathurst Island was one of those ‘life-changing’ experiences that come along rarely. In a few short days, I learnt more about Indigenous culture than I have in any other context. We would all benefit from such an eye-opening and educational experience of the Tiwi people’s heritage as this.”
2026 – Tarntipi Bush Camp NOT available for bookings due to sorry business until further notice.
It is with great sadness that the family of Teddy Portaminni announce his passing – 30/09/2025.
Teddy was the founder and Chairperson for Tarntipi Homelands Aboriginal Corporation.
As a sign of respect and to allow for appropriate cultural ceremony, the campsite at Tarntipi will be closed until further notice.
