⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
"I had a wonderful experience at the center over the weekend doing the Jellurgal Walkabout! Had a lovely guide and very kind colleagues. The guide was very informative and shared their experience over a leisurely walk which was terrific! Loved that we were taken through nature and hearing history, stories, and perspectives of the local community. My intent was to learn about the community of the local Aboriginal People and connections overall of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People with the lands, the cultures, and experiences, and it was very worthwhile. Thank you to the team."

Thanks Zachy!!
