The tour starts with a visit to the Kurtonitj Indigenous Protected Area (IPA) where your Gunditjmara cultural guide will show you an ancient smoking tree used for smoking kooyang (eels), an area of lava flow featuring two weirs, and a dam associated with trapping and holding kooyang.
Follow this with a visit to the Budj Bim National Park to see an inactive volcano (now Lake Surprise) located within the Western Victorian Volcanic Plains. The Gunditjmara call the area ‘Tungatt Mirring’ or Stone Country, and it is where the legend of Budj Bim began. Here your guide will take you on a cultural walk with key features of interest including Lake Surprise, lava tunnels, caves, forest, and wildlife including an extensive koala population.
After Budj Bim, return to the Tae Rak Aquaculture Centre & Café, arriving approximately 1pm. (Lunch not included)
