REGISTER HERE TO BOOK THE INDIGENOUS CULTURAL EXPERIENCE AND BUSH TUCKER AFTERNOON TEA

Join us along with Aboriginal guides from Koori Kinnections for a two-hour cultural and environmental experience along the Gadyan Track at Berry Island, Wollstonecraft on Saturday 17 October from 1 pm to 3 pm. Discover ancient stories hidden in plain sight on Sydney Harbour and experience the beauty of the native sclerophyll bushland and woodland areas in this place.

Over two hours, you will explore Aboriginal culture, history and sustainability, and connect with the stories, landscapes and living culture of this place.

Highlights include:

• a guided bush walk along the Gadyan Track
• shell middens, axe-grinding grooves and rock engravings
• bush foods and sustainable practices
• hands-on experience with traditional resources
• stunning Sydney Harbour views

The cost is $74 per person (price includes $59 for the cultural experience and $15 afternoon tea). EIANZ members and non-members, their families and friends are all welcome. The same price applies to every participant, including children, as the supplier charges EIANZ a flat per-person rate.

Note that the tour requires a moderate level of fitness. It includes around 750 m of uneven walking track and some hills. Attendees should be able to walk comfortably for more than an hour.
