Description

On this tour, Delta takes guests along the stunning Byron Creek, located within Bangalow Parklands. Once an old grazing land, thankfully this area has been regenerated with hundreds of native plant species that are really important to Bundjalung people.

During the tour, Delta points out a variety of bush tucker plants, as well as plants used for traditional healing, jewellery, fibre, tools and weapons. She speaks about local Indigenous history and shares traditional stories that have been passed down to her from her ancestors.

There are opportunities to learn some Bundjalung language and we are sometimes lucky to see Binging the river turtle or Junbung the platypus.

At the end of each tour, guests enjoy tasting a variety of delicious bush tucker foods and have a nice cup of bush tea and a biscuit.
