CATHEDRAL FIG - Bundaburra Experience

Our tour begins with a warm Bundaburra welcome and introduction to Yidinji Country.

Our local Aboriginal guides will begin with explaining the cultural borders and Clan boundaries on a map, and the traditional customs associated with our cultural borders that we still use today!

Next we will take an easy 100m walk into the rainforest to view the majestic Cathedral Fig.

We explain our cultural connection to the fig tree and it’s important role in recent history.

You will learn about the Tableland’s early settlement and timber harvesting history and how it impacted the local Aboriginal groups, leading them to become more reliant on western food.

As we start to walk back toward the carpark, you will discover the many plants and trees along the way that were once used to sustain rainforest living.

As we return to the carpark, we will gather on the soft lawn area to sit together and interact with rainforest tools, artefacts, fruits & seeds, and view pictures that give us a glimpse of the past.
