Authentic Aboriginal Cultural Experiences

Immerse yourself in the traditions of the Dharawal and Yuin Nations

Empowering learning through Aboriginal culture and connection to Country

Gumaraa is proudly based in the Shellharbour region, delivering authentic Aboriginal cultural experiences and education inspired by the traditions of the Dharawal and Yuin Nations. We work within the Yuin and Dharawal Nation borders, building strong local relationships and maintaining a deep connection to Country. We work closely with schools, workplaces, council and community across Shellharbour, while also supporting programs and partnerships throughout Wollongong and the wider Illawarra. Our programs, workshops, tours and corporate services share stories, knowledge and cultural understanding rooted in one of the world’s oldest living cultures.

For Schools

Our programs, workshops and excursions are designed to educate and inspire, offering schools and preschools a meaningful way to learn about Aboriginal culture, history and connection to Country through interactive, curriculum aligned experiences.
