For thousands of years, Aboriginal Australians have relied on bush tucker as a means of survival. Bush tucker encompasses a diverse range of native Australian plants that bear edible fruits, seeds, nuts, and more. Each of these plants holds ceremonial or cultural significance.

Our bush tucker workshops provide comprehensive knowledge about various native plants, including their preparation, consumption, and medicinal uses. Participants will learn valuable bush survival skills and gain insight into how our ancestors utilized these methods and their underlying significance.

To delve deeper into the world of Bush Tucker/Bush Medicine, please inquire through our website www.gumaraa.com.au, or send us an email at info@gumaraa.com.au

Indigenous art revolves around the art of storytelling, serving as a powerful tool to convey the knowledge of the land, historical events, and beliefs of the Aboriginal people. The utilization of traditional symbols provides an alternative means of recording stories of cultural significance.

Learn directly from our experienced Aboriginal artist, Richard George Campbell, as he imparts the meaning behind these symbols and guides you in creating your very own Aboriginal artwork.

The ancient practice of weaving has served as a method for creating a diverse range of tools throughout history, including items such as food utensils, baskets, jewellery, fishing nets, and even skin cloaks. By engaging in the art of weaving, individuals can cultivate patience and gain a deeper understanding of our interconnectedness as humans, acknowledging how we are delicately intertwined within the fabric of the Earth. 

Our weaving workshops are adaptable to cater to the unique requirements of each participant. To learn more about these workshops, please feel free to visit our website at www.gumaraa.com.au or reach out to us via email at info@gumaraa.com.au.

Our Didgeridoo workshop is designed to introduce the didgeridoo and its history to males of all ages. We provide teachings on the significance of the didgeridoo and how our ancestors utilized this instrument for various purposes. 

Participants will have the opportunity to select their own didgeridoo and learn to play, practice, and even decorate their own instrument. Each individual will be able to keep their didgeridoo as a memento.

Smoking ceremony is a traditional practice of the Aboriginal people that involves the burning of native plants to create smoke. This smoke is utilized to purify the surroundings and provide protection against negative spirits, both for individuals and the land. 

At openings and special events, we conduct smoking ceremonies to bestow success upon individuals and companies. When participating in a smoking ceremony, it is important to stand in the smoke to cleanse the past and welcome a brighter future. 

Discover our Welcome Package! It includes a Welcome to Country, Smoking Ceremony, and a Didgeridoo Performance, all available at a fixed price. For an enhanced experience, you can also choose to include Aboriginal dancers. For inquiries, please visit our website or email us at info@gumaraa.com.au
