About

Your Experience

Explore Tungatt Mirring’s Living Heritage

Begin your journey at the Tae Rak Aquaculture Centre, where you’ll gain insight into the sophisticated eel-farming methods developed by the Gunditjmara people over 6,600 years ago. This tour introduces you to one of the world’s oldest aquaculture systems, featuring stone channels, traps and traditional smoking techniques still evident in the landscape today.

Uncover Kurtonitj Indigenous Protected Area

Your guide will lead you through Kurtonitj IPA, a region rich in cultural and natural history. Examine the original stone eel traps and winding channels that provided sustenance and trade for generations. See the smoking tree, a striking example of the traditional process that not only flavored but preserved the catch for later use or exchange.

Immerse Yourself in Budj Bim National Park

Continue to Budj Bim National Park, recognised for its unique geological formations and lush landscapes. As you walk among ancient lava tunnels, caves and forests, learn about the natural and cultural significance of this volcanic region, also known to the Gunditjmara as ‘Mount Eccles.’ Experience the tranquil setting of Lake Surprise, a crater lake nestled within the park’s rugged terrain.

Spot Wildlife and Enjoy Morning Tea

This area is not only steeped in Aboriginal heritage but is also home to abundant native wildlife. During your visit, you may spot koalas living amongst the gum trees, along with other local species. The tour includes morning tea, allowing you to relax and soak in the surroundings while listening to stories from your guide about Gunditjmara traditions and life today.

Learn, Reflect and Connect

Throughout, your cultural guide will provide context about the connection between land, water, and culture in this World Heritage-listed landscape. Appreciate how the Gunditjmara shaped the environment and continue to share their knowledge and stewardship with visitors. The tour is designed to foster greater understanding of Australia’s indigenous heritage and sustainable living practices developed thousands of years ago.
