Alcott Roach,
a SWAU business student, is the chief of Aboriginal Cultural Village Theme Park

Alcott said,
“Everything is going Excellent, I am having lots of fun, the cultural
village was cool, they made me king of the village. lol. This is a
wonderful experience I won't soon forget”
"It's a tribe ritual, the king of the tribe drinks 3 cups of wine at the
beginning of every harvest, the first one is to bless the people of the tribe,
the second one is to bless the Harvest and the third one is to bless the King.
Me! lol."
Click here for the entire ritual. It is very hilarious and
amusing!
