This gentle bushwalk offers an opportunity to listen and learn while spending time on Country together. Over a warm cup of bush tea, Joel and Jordan will share local knowledge, language, and stories, offering insight into the deep cultural relationships between people and place.

Participants will also learn about the importance of caring for and healing Country through practices such as cultural burning, gaining a deeper understanding of how fire has long been used to sustain healthy landscapes.

Please note this is a Moderate Grade track that has steep sections, rough surface, and two creek crossings. Please wear sturdy walking shoes and appropriate outdoor attire including a hat. This event is not suitable for guests with limited mobility or requiring wheelchair access.
