wawa tabilk-tabilk

We are proud to partner with the Taungurung People – the Traditional Owners and Custodians of this land, who operate Taungurung-led cultural experiences in the Tahbilk Wetlands, a magnificent part of Taungurung Country. tabilk-tabilk is a name given by the Taungurung People, which translates to the 'Place of many waterholes' This name perfectly describes the beautiful and abundant landscape and is woven into our collective story.

You’ll experience a traditional Welcome Smoking Ceremony, inspiring yarns with two Taungurung guides, a guided walk along the tabilk-tabilk Indigenous Flora Trail to learn the various uses of native flora by Taungurung people, and enjoy a gentle cruise through the beautiful wetlands keeping an eye and ear out for the prolific birdlife, frogs, turtles, and unique seasonal flora unique to this place.  We give thanks to Country – the keeper of stories, past, present and future.

Inclusions: This four-hour cultural experience departs and ends at Tahbilk Estate Restaurant. It includes quality time with two Taungurung guides, a traditional Welcome Smoking Ceremony, home-made morning tea using delicious bush ingredients, a boat cruise on the Tahbilk wetlands, and plenty of opportunities to ask questions and yarn with the guides.
