Mt Ebenezer Roadhouse

Imanpa Homepage

Mt Ebenezer Roadhouse is owned and run by the Imanpa Community.

As well as offering accommodation, food, petrol and the usual roadhouse services, Mt Ebenezer is also an outlet for the artwork produced by members of Imanpa community.

The building houses an art gallery showcasing the items made by people from the bush community, such as paintings, traditional wood carvings, and necklaces fashioned out of nuts and seeds.

The roadhouse purchases artworks from the community once a week. Artists can also stock up on artists materials from there. The art gallery is a successful operation, with a high turn-over of artwork sold to the many tourists passing by on their way to and from Uluru (Ayers Rock) and Kata Tjuta.

Margaret Smith, chair person of Imanpa community, shows off one of art pieces. An old man has carved the punu, (the wood) and she has finished it off and added the painting.
