This is the beginning of a cultural journey
40,000 years in the making. The guides
teach you about Aboriginal history and
share their culture and what life in the
area was like.
If you’re not sure what constitutes a
traditional palawa dinner, the first night’s
menu takes care of your curiosity. The
traditionally-inspired dinner is followed
by a Smoking Ceremony and under a
broad night sky, you’ll hear the creation
story from those who have heard it
through earlier generations.
Important Information: This is an active
itinerary. No technical climbing skills are
required. The hike is graded in degree of
difficulty as Easy-Medium. A reasonable
amount of fitness is required as you will
be walking up to 10 kms per day. Water
