On this experience our passionate Taungurung leaders share the story of Taungurung Culture, specific to tabilk-tabilk - the place of many waterholes. This area of Taungurung Country within Tahbilk Winery and Wetlands, boasts 1,214 hectares of river flats with an extensive frontage to the Goulburn River and impressive backwaters and creeks.   We share with you how the story of our People and our Culture is inextricably connected to reading and managing Country.   Learn about our aspirations, our language, our perspectives, and our cultural values.

You’ll experience a traditional Welcome Smoking Ceremony, inspiring yarns with two Taungurung guides, a guided walk along the tabilk-tabilk Indigenous Flora Trail (1km) to learn the various uses of native flora by Taungurung people; and enjoy a gentle cruise through the wetlands keeping an eye and ear out for the prolific birdlife, frogs, turtles, and seasonal aquatic life unique to this place.  We finish by giving thanks to Country – the keeper of our stories, past, present and future

Inclusions
