Description

Learn about the Aboriginal history and culture of the Gold Coast on this engaging walking tour of the renowned Burleigh Headland. Start your tour with an audio/visual presentation at Jellurgal Aboriginal Cultural Centre then take a guided walk around the “Dreaming Mountain”, Jellurgal, where culturally significant sites have played an important role in the lives of Aboriginal people. You will hear the Dreaming stories associated with the creation of Jellurgal, discover facts about traditional life, bush tucker, fishing and hunting and learn about the important ecological practices and connection to the land displayed by the Yugambeh speaking people for thousands of years. Duration: Approximately 2 hours *(this can vary depending on the physical capabilities of the participants)* Difficulty: The Oceanview track makes its way along the coastline leading from Tallebudgera Creek around to Burleigh Point. The track is 1.2km one-way and a 'Grade 2' walk, meaning that the track is a hardened surface with gentle hill sections and occasional steps. No bushwalking experience is required and wheelchair assisted and pram assisted access is possible.
