Taribelang Bunda Cultural Tours

Make 2023 your year of enriching experiences and cultural connections with one of Bundaberg’s newest experiences, Taribelang Bunda Cultural Tours, which will immerse you in the oldest continuous living culture on earth.

Guided by Elders past, present and emerging, these tours have been 60,000 years in the making and are all about authenticity, education and care. The fascinating, immersive half day tour weaves through the streets of Bundaberg, visiting sites of significance, sharing the intertwined First Nations history and modern day living through the eyes of their mob, Taribelang Bunda.

These tours will not teach you the sort of thing you can learn in school or from reading a book, but rather a feeling of deep connection and appreciation - an enriching experience that awakens your mind, replenishes your soul and fills your heart.

It’s feeling of goosebumps appearing as you listen to stories of Dreamtime, it’s the energy of the land as you stand on Country and it’s that first taste of native flavours, with the Lilli Pilli Jam and handmade damper, baked that very morning by beloved 92 year Elder Aunty Eileen Rowe. 

Born storytellers, your tour guides radiate respect and meaningfulness, connecting with guests as they join in open and honest conversation, and often can’t help but build lifelong friendships along the way. As an indigenous family-owned experience, the team pour their heart and history into their tours, sharing personal insights into life as Taribelang people.

Whether that’s Bec reflecting on fond childhood memories with her family on Paddys Island, resident cheeky chappy Nigel teaching language and playing the digeridoo, or Waszanna yarning about her South Sea Island heritage and how deeply it is laced through the history of the region.

Bunda meaning people, have stood on the land and in the water, yesterday, today and tomorrow. Stretching from Woodgate Beach in the south to Baffle Creek in the north and inland where the mighty Burnett River flows through the North Burnett, is Country where Taribelang call home.

Shining a light on cultural immersion and inclusivity, these traditional custodians of the land which you know for the rum, the reef and breathtaking natural wonders, look forward to connecting with you on a Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow Tour.

*Tour price includes shuttles to sites and picnic style traditional bush flavoured morning tea.
