camps Cultural tours, and activities inspire and engage children, fosteringcultural awareness and
interactive learning.
Student engagement and passion for learning is enhanced when we take the classroom outdoors and provide opportunities to interact with new environments and cultures . When students have an opportunity
to learn outdoors they start to ‘live their learning’. This experiential method of teaching has been part of traditional Aboriginal culture for millennia. Passing on skills and ancestral knowledge from one generation to the next through practising lore and maintaining customs has preserved the Aboriginal culture, making it
the oldest living culture in the world today.
Aboriginal cultural tours and activities provide this same immersive learning experience, giving students the opportunity to explore authentic, project based learning in an outdoor classroom context. With hands on
examples that include hunting and gathering, making tools and implements using only natural resources and fostering a deeper understanding of the unique cultural identity of the first Australians.
Many of the tours offer authentic ‘on country’ experiences, interacting with cultural custodians and elders, who share their knowledge of the land and offer an insight into Aboriginal culture through Dreaming stories,
song, dance and a range of activities that encourage group participation and cooperation.

Aboriginal On Country Experiences connect children
with nature and culture in meaningful and memorable
ways that stay with them long after the experienceWhether it’s ancient Dreaming stories told around a campfire, cooking freshly caught crab or whitchetty grubs over the open coals, tracking wildlife across the desert sands or making a traditional or spear or tapping sticks, children
feel better, behave better and learn more when we combine learning with outdoor nature-based and cultural activities. When children leave behind the social and technological complexities of modern life, it reignites their
natural curiosity, inventiveness and sense of adventure.

Wula Gura Nyinda Eco Adventures is a family business located in the amazing Shark Bay World Heritage Area in Western Australia, the perfect classroom for us to deliver
our Youth Leadership Cultural Awareness Programs. : Each program incorporates five major principles: Leadership, Teamwork, Communication, Safety and Respect
and links in with the national framework for the Australian curriculum.
Ÿ Research indicates that direct exposure to nature is essential for physical and emotional health as well as normal child development.
Ÿ On Country, cross cultural encounters break down barriers and stereotypes, allowing children to gain a better understanding of Australia’s first people through positive learning experiences.
Ÿ Shared knowledge – As the world’s oldest living culture, the Aboriginal culture has survived by the passing of knowledge from one generation to the next. On Country classrooms give children the opportunity to experience some of this vast collective knowledge of country and culture.
Many of our students come from
Perth and have led privileged lives,
and for them to be exposed to
the challenges of remote living
and the richness of the culture,
despite the perceived harshness,
is an experience that remains
present in their minds for many
years to come. Visiting Morapoi
is often the highlight of their year.
