"World Heritage recognition for Budj Bim"

 

The tour was a focal point of our visit to the area and it was so worth it. The tour was conducted by Ben who explained the way of life for the Gunditjmara people and their use of eel traps and construction of houses using the natural materials on site. What I loved the most was the opportunity to see, feel and achieve a greater understanding of the over 40,000 years of Indigenous culture that is evident around the area.
The smoking ceremony to start the walking tour with the explanation of the types of plants used and what the ceremony symbolised was such a wonderful start to the tour.

"A wonderful unique experience!"

 

A great short 2 hr walking tour with a very knowledgeable and engaging guide. A good mixture of information, walking, talking and experiencing examples of how the land was farmed, harvested and managed.

Guides were passionate and warm, and great to spend time with.
