Incredible Aboriginal cultural tours & experiences in NSW

Aboriginal culture tours in the Riverina

Connect with Country and see the land differently on a Bundyi Cultural Tours of the Riverina region. With guide Mark Saddler visit places of significance to the Wiradjuri community where few others get to go. Forage for bush tucker, discover freshwater middens (ancient piles of shells left behind by Aboriginal clans), or learn about some of the Wiradjuri’s spiritual sites with permission from Elders.

Historic sites at Mungo National Park

A site with deep significance is Mungo National Park. Dreamtime stories have been passed down over the generations, recounting how the dry lake beds and sand and clay dunes were created, and how they still contain some of the world’s oldest known human remains, as well as the earliest archaeological traces of Aboriginal people. 

On a tour of Mungo with a Paakantyi, Ngiyampaa or Mutthi ranger (the three Indigenous groups of the Willandra Lakes region) you can hear the moving story behind the 2017 repatriation of the 42,000-year-old remains of Mungo Man – and Mungo Lady in 1992 – to their UNESCO World Heritage-listed home.

Ancient ingenuity in northern NSW

Travel to the north of NSW to the town of Brewarrina where you'll find heritage-listed fish traps (Baiame’s Ngunnhu). This ingenious network of stones in the Barwon River arranged to form ponds and channels to catch fish as they travel downstream was devised more than 40,000 years ago. Your Ngemba guide will explain that this is one of the oldest human-made structures on the planet and rich in Dreamtime lore.

Sacred encounters in Narooma

Join a two-night experience with Ngaran Ngaran Culture Awareness on the South Coast. Guided by Dwayne “Naja” Bannon-Harrison, you'll learn about the heart of Yuin Country around Narooma and enjoy the rare privilege of visiting sacred Gulaga (Mother Mountain). For the Yuin, this is where life begins, and where it will end. While following the Djiringanj Dreaming trail, you’ll participate in ceremonies and healing connection workshops.

A taste of place in Moree

To get a real flavour for Country, join Kerrie Saunders’ Yinarr-Ma Bush Tucker Tours in Moree, which highlight the native bush tucker and medicine that have sustained the Kamilaroi People of this northern part of the state for millennia. Working in harmony with nature, Kerrie forages for bush herbs and spices, native grasses and seeds before cooking damper with a distinct taste of the space you've just walked through. She also makes a delicious “native” pizza using binamayaa (old man saltbush) flour, bush tomatoes and ruby saltbush fruit.
