Weekends fill early in this state and the good melbourne aboriginal cultural tours go first. The 4 below are the ones to lock in ahead of time, with current prices and what makes each one different from the next.
A 90-minute Aboriginal Heritage Walk in Melbourne Gardens with a local guide, plant stories, food and medicine uses, and lemon myrtle tea.
“Make sure it takes place - we have lost half a day sine the tour - despite booking confirmation- took place the day before.”
Walk Tae Rak (Lake Condah) with a Gunditjmara guide, spot eel-country wildlife, and learn how ancient lava-flow aquaculture worked.
“Knowledge of the guide, respect for culture. Sensitivity of infrastructure and main building design.”
Kooyang eel farming, lava tunnels, and Gunditjmara storytelling at Budj Bim, with a small-group feel, lunch, and wetland walks.
“Everyone should do this tour. The importance of the site in understanding Australia’s history, indigenous ingenuity, culture and sustainability, the natural beauty, the quality of the set up, the food, the fantastic guides, everything was absolutely mind blowing. An experience we will never forget with learnings we will take with us forever.”
See Budj Bim’s eel-harvesting engineering at C176, walk volcanic craters, and step into lava caves with a Gunditjmara cultural guide.
“It was a such an inspiring and humbling experience, hearing some of the incredible knowledge of our Gunditjmara Guide, who gave us wonderful insights into the phenomenal ingenuity and resourcefulness of his people.”
