Private Illi-langi Aboriginal Dreaming Tour

Are you looking for unique Sydney activities for your group? Engage with the world's most ancient culture at this Aboriginal Dreaming Tour around Sydney Harbour, ideal for cultural awareness team building activities and unique experience gifts.

Developed by Aboriginal Elder, Margret Campbell, a Dunghutti-Jerrinjah woman, the Illi-Langi (homeland) walking tours are led by Aboriginal guides, with permission to share Margret's cultural knowledge.

Over an hour and a half, you and your group will discover that ancient Aboriginal Dreamtime is still alive within the modern Sydney landscape and gain an understanding of how the areas we explore continue to influence how Aboriginal people live today.

By the end of the tour, everyone will have gained a new perspective of Sydney that is touching, enlightening and very informative.

What you'll learn:

• Experience a local Aboriginal greeting and learn some of the language spoken.
• Meet knowledgeable Aboriginal guides.
• Participate in a Sydney cultural acknowledgement of Earth Mother using clapsticks.
• Opportunity to view cultural objects and materials.
• Learn about the Aboriginal DreamTime, its origin, history and culture.
• Understand the connection between modern Sydney and the Aboriginal Dreaming.

• Cadman's Cottage: the meeting point for the tour. Here we will begin with an introduction, acknowledgement to Country and a traditional clap stick welcome.
• Argyle Cut: Earth Mother's ochre colours can be seen in the sandstone rock of Argyle cut. During this part of the tour, you will learn the meaning of the colours in the Aboriginal flag.
• Hicksons Reserve: overlooking the harbour itself, you will be able to step back in time and imagine the Eora Clan's reaction to strange visitors landing in Wocconmagulli, which is today known as Bennelong Point and Circular Quay.
