It is owned and run by Ngarrindjeri people, and situated about {{cvt|11|km}} south of [[Meningie, South Australia|Meningie]].<ref name=aussietowns/> The centre was founded by brothers Tom and George Trevorrow in 1985, with the aim of creating a place where the local community could have camps, younger members of the community might find employment, and Ngarrindjeri culture could be shared. It was officially closed to the public in 2018.<ref name=marsh2022/> Ngarrindjeri [[Aboriginal Australian elder|elder]] and well-known weaver Aunty [[Ellen Trevorrow]], who is Tom's widow, works from one of the rooms at the camp, along with artist and academic Jelina Haines, who was born in the Philippines.
