Take a walk through the Dreamtime on an Aboriginal walkabout experience, lead by Aboriginal guide, Evan Yanna Muru. Leading you through stunning scenery in the Blue Mountains, the tour is intertwined with learning, relaxation, and interpretive activities.

An inspiring and educational journey through ancient grounds, this Aboriginal bushwalk will give you a deep understanding of the traditional Darug culture. Guided through the song line (story of place), the two hour walk (4km medium grade) leads you into secluded bush and rainforest, and into sacred Dreamtime sites.

The tour also consists of four hours of Aboriginal learnings connecting you with the Dreamtime and ancient culture. Discover ancient ceremonial sites and rock art, learn about bush medicine, see wildlife and stunning scenery, ochre bark and body painting, even taste some traditional bush tucker.

In the summer there’s the option to paddle under a picture-perfect waterfall in a fresh water billabong. In the winter, enjoy a hearty lunch in a natural sandstone cave, warmed by a crackling log fire.

The tour endeavours to connect each member with the Dreamtime through story, art, ritual, and dance. Focusing on the Aboriginal connection to the land, the walkabout offers a unique and powerful way to experience the paths trodden for thousands of years.

Experience a unique welcome to Australia by the oldest human culture on Earth today. Tours showcase Sydney’s Aboriginal Dreamtime beginnings. This is a perfect introduction to Aboriginal culture and the heritage and history of Sydney Harbour’s World Heritage listed landscape.

Dreamtime Southern X is owned by Margret Campbell and her family who are coastal water people of the Dunghutti and Djerrinjah Nations. Tours are grounded in Aboriginal Dreamtime culture and are led by Aboriginal guides who are trained in Margret’s cultural knowledge and wisdoms. Margret then gives permission to share this expression that connects to Sydney’s billion year old saltwater harbour, flora and fauna, marine life and Sandstone rockbeds. The seasonal landscape features continue to influence Aboriginal thinking and behaviour of land use practices - music, song, dance, art and lifestyle today.

Our short inner city Sydney tour experiences are much more than viewing the beautiful iconic landmarks of the Sydney Opera House, Sydney Harbour Bridge and the magnificent Harbour. Appreciate Aboriginal history heritage and culture when understanding the why, when and how we humans all walk on Wyanga Malu (earth mother) to create each of our own footprints, lifestyle journeys and make memories from our sacred landscapes.

Mutawintji Historic Site contains significant and remarkably beautiful Aboriginal rock paintings, stencils and carvings evidencing more than 8000 years of human occupation in the area. These signify a range of different artistic styles and provide valuable insights into the lives of the people throughout the past eight millennia.

As you wander around Mutawintji learning about its history as a busy and vibrant meeting place, it’s hard not to be swept up by the lingering magic that seems to hover over every engraved rock face and every cool, deep water hole. Mutawintji is a very special place, charged with life and stories, and should be on the touring itinerary of every visitor to Outback NSW.

The tours into the Historic Site will take you into the Cultural Centre where you will enjoy an audio-visual presentation

about the Dreamtime creation of Mutawintji, followed by two interpretive walks within the Historic Site.

In the farthest reaches of remote Northern Australia lies Arnhem Land. This vast and rugged wilderness is where the Yolngu people have lived for millennia. On this seven-day adventure discover this beautiful stretch of traditional land. Learn about Dhuwa and Yirritja way of life, which will challenge many of us that live in westernised society. Then depart the mainland for nearby Bremer Island and feel like castaways marooned on this spectacular oasis, devoid of human development and interference. Don’t pass up this unique opportunity to witness the close cultural connection between the land and Australia’s Indigenous people, the oldest civilization on Earth.

East Arnhem Land is a truly untouched part of Australia, rich with culture and tradition. Arrive at Nyinyikay and be greeted with a traditional Welcome to Country and a welcoming dance. This important tradition ties into one of the areas Dingo song lines, which you will learn about during your time here.

Enjoy two days of cultural activities with the Nyinyikay traditional Yolngu owners. These activities could include making spears and Yidaki (Didgeridoos) for men, or collecting materials and dyes for basket making. There will also be an opportunity to witness the hunting and gathering methods, or if you’re more interested in the traditional arts, the homeland also teaches some traditional dances as well as bark painting, jewellery making and basket weaving. At the end of each day, sit with the traditional owners around the fire and make the most of this unique opportunity to learn about their culture.

Heading to Bremer Island, you can enjoy the next two days relaxing and reflecting at Banubanu Beach Retreat. Perhaps set out on one of the many walking trails through the dunes, practice some bird watching or beach combing, or head out on the boat for a days fishing or exploring East Bremer Island, a pure white sand Island a short boat ride away from Banubanu.

On arrival back on the mainland, visit Yirrkala’s world famous art gallery. The Buku Art Centre presents art works created by men and women of the many Aboriginal clans in the area, with paintings, sculptures, wood crafts, and cross hatching techniques on display, and learn about how this establishment serves as a learning centre for the local children of the surrounding communities.

The name Bunjilaka is derived from the word ‘Bunjil’ (Boon Wurrung and Woi Wurrung language). ‘Bunjil’ was a significant creation ancestor for most of Victoria’s Aboriginal language groups, translating to ‘land’ or ‘place’.

Bunjilaka features a variety of exhibitions covering a celebration of a culture deeply entwined with the land, the impact of British colonisation and how Aboriginal people have strived to maintain their culture, and the ongoing debate about Aboriginal knowledge, law and property in Australia.

First Peoples, the award-winning permanent exhibition,

celebrates the diversity, continuity, strength and vitality of Koorie people, and presents a new and truly shared approach to the telling of history. The exhibition focuses on Victoria’s more than 40 Aboriginal language groups – uncovering hidden histories, challenging preconceptions, and inviting visitors to connect through people, place and story.

Also, make sure to visit Birrarung Gallery, a magnificent river-inspired space dedicated to Aboriginal art from South Eastern Australia. There’s also Milarri Garden, a beautiful outdoor space in Bunjilaka, filled with native flora significant to the Aboriginal people of South-Eastern Australia.
