What to expect

You'll travel by vehicle to several culturally significant sites around Bundaberg, stopping to walk short stretches and hear stories tied to each place. The guides—Taribelang Bunda Traditional Owners themselves—explain how artefacts like boomerangs functioned in daily life, then walk you through their use. Mid-morning, sit down for tea and native bush foods prepared the traditional way. Expect storytelling that weaves pre-colonial life with the realities of colonisation and its ongoing legacy. This isn't polished performance; it's direct knowledge-sharing from the people who've lived on this Country across countless generations.
