What an adventure! The wawa biik team delves into the highlights of our first year of operation.

February 2024 marks our wawa biik one year anniversary. One year on and we’ve been having a laugh about all the funny moments; thinking back to all the great yarns with our friendly guests and reflecting on the honour of being out on Country doing what we love. It’s no secret that running a successful tourism business is hard work at times and we have overcome some challenges in the past year.

wawa biik x ngarga warendj are proud to present a new cultural experience for 2025.
 
wawa dharrang meaning ‘hello tree’, is an immersive 5-hour cultural experience on Taungurung Country led by Taungurung artist and Elder Uncle Mick Harding. It celebrates the story and art of culturally modified trees - a cultural practice that is as important today as it has been for 60,000 years.
 
His recent art project called ‘We Scar Many Trees’ involved creating a series of culturally modified trees as a sculpture trail, commissioned as part of the ‘Art on the Great Victorian Rail Trail’ with his sons Mitchil and Corey.
 
Join this personalised journey to hear the backstory of this work - visit three of their works, enjoy a BBQ lunch and stringybark rope making demonstration.
Starts/ends at Yea Wetlands Discovery Centre.
For pricing and details, follow the link in the bio. 
 
This tour is supported by the Victorian Government through Creative Victoria.

On Friday we attended the Strathbogie Shire’s event ‘Costa’s Climate Ready Gardens - Thriving Through Change’. The event talked about flood resilient gardens and Uncle Shane spoke about Taungurung cultural land management practices and the importance of waring (Goulburn) to all Taungurung people. We met Costa Georgiadis too! 
Uncle Mick performed the Welcome and Smoking Ceremony. 
Great day!!
