Crossing Country 5 Day Yolngu Homeland Tour

Description

Visit a Yolŋu Homeland and become part of a small family community and spend time with the Yolŋu people, living and working on their traditional homelands.

Feel like part of the family, take part in daily activities and make lasting friendships. Your stay will begin with a  welcome to country, or smoking ceremony. You will learn about Yolŋu kinship, traditional lore and language, both spoken and sign. Throughout your visit you will participate in a range of activities which may include traditional spear fishing, gathering of bush foods and medicine, weaving, jewellery making, dance (Bunggul), storytelling or learning how the Yidaki (didjeridu) is made and played. 

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Protecting the vulnerable communities on the Yolngu homelands is our priority, and to ensure that they are not unnecessarily put at risk by COVID-19, we have decided that all non-essential travel to Aboriginal communities should be avoided until further notice.

About operator:

“GULULU” - WELCOME TO OUR COUNTRY - Welcome to Yolŋu Country. Lirrwi Tourism operates day tours, and multi-day tours, spending time with the Yolŋu people of East Arnhem Land, living and working on their traditional homelands. We specialise in bringing people together to share Yolŋu culture, connecting Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people and building understanding between the two cultures. The one-day tours are the perfect cultural introduction to Yolngu country, whilst small-group multi-day tours provide participants with the opportunity to stay on a Yolŋu Homeland and take part in daily activities. In the Yolngu culture, it’s traditional for men and women to undertake activities separately, and a female specific Woman’s Tour is available for ladies. Tours are suitable for all ages and we welcome families with children to share in an “Adventure in Culture”. We offer itineraries for corporate team building, Indigenous education, as well as for sporting and community groups.
