The Tiwi people have given a lot to our nation and their art is just superb: the jewellery is very distinctive and the Tiwis are becoming very good at bringing their art to us. The Adelaide Art Gallery has a good programme of exhibitions including the Tiwi Art exhibition. Have not seen it yet but it is on my must see list. The Tiwi Art site will give you some idea of just how beautiful their things are. If you want to follow up the Aboriginals and their Dreamtime then the Aboriginal Dreamtime site puts it all together very nicely. Their stories are extraordinary and really grow on you especially if they are told by one of the tribe..
