Attendees at Karijini Experience in the heart of Western Australia's Pilbara region will get a distinct taste of Indigenous flavours at this year's event, including kangaroo tail stew and the humble bush scone known as Johnny Cakes.

Set in the spectacular gorges and surrounds of the remote and rugged Karijini National Park, 1400km north of Perth, the Karijini Experience is a highlight of WA's tourism calendar, with the 2024 program designed to elevate Indigenous culture through a series of events that cater for families, foodies or those looking for some free fun.

Three Indigenous caterers will provide the bulk of the food for up to 3000 people expected at the four-day cultural festival, with bush foods well represented on their menus.

Held in the heart of the spectacular remoteness of Karijini National Park by the Banjima Native Title Aboriginal Corporation (BNTAC), the Traditional Owners of the Karijini land, the 2024 event from April 4-7 has an increased emphasis on Aboriginal culture, celebrating its art, music and in particular food.

The dining experience this year includes high-end, long table feasts with native bush ingredients at their core, to cooking demonstrations from Indigenous chefs across the region.

For Iluka co-founder and culinary lead Zach Green, 2024 will be his first Karijini Experience, with initial plans for the Port Hedland-based business to cater for Elders evolving to personal cooking demonstrations at the Karijini village.

An Indigenous-inspired bush high tea and two Indigenous-inspired dinners at the village over the weekend are also on the menu.

"I'm keen on giving attendees a taste of kangaroo tail stew and a few other surprises," Mr Green said.

Iluka has its own fully equipped trailer, a commercial kitchen on wheels, and Mr Green expected to feed up to 3000 people over the four-day event.

"You have to be really well prepared in what you're doing out there, making sure you've got everything in order," he said.

Roaming restaurant group Fervor are putting on a five-course gourmet degustation over two nights in the picturesque Dales Gorge, showcasing the native ingredients it has become renowned for.

Chef and co-owner Paul Iskov said Fervor was experienced in the logistical requirements to deliver quality food experiences in remote pockets of the Pilbara.

"Karijini is quite a distance to travel, but absolutely worth every kilometre," he said.

Pilbara Kitchen has been involved with the Karijini Experience since its return in 2023 and this year will be catering for the Elder's families and volunteers, supplying up to 140 people a day with hearty buffet meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Karis Bailey said the Karijini Experience was a highlight for the Pilbara Kitchen team, with the challenges of remote service heartily embraced.

"If something goes wrong, you have to keep the ball rolling, and work out a solution to the issue," she said.

Event manager Richard Campbell, from CMS Events, said the event's village base on Karijini National Park's landing strip was designed to give attendees more time and space to soak up the culture of traditional owners, the Banjima people.

He highlighted the Elders Tent and the Jundunmunnah Art Exhibition, as well as events focused on bush medicine, storytelling, language, fashion and toured walks as notable offerings in 2024.

Kids aren't left behind, with plenty of activities, from sewing, art and craft to sand boomerang, over the four days.
