About

This two-hour guided tour of the Tyrendarra indigenous protected area begins at the Budj Bim orientation centre in Heywood, where you will be welcomed, receive introductory information about Gunditjmara culture and country and watch a 10-minute video.

You will then take the scenic drive out to the Tyrendarra IPA where you will learn about the unique circular stone dwellings, and see the remnant house sites. Along the walking trail, you will also learn about Australia’s earliest and largest stone aquaculture systems, including the fish and eel traps. Your guide will explain the dreaming story about the creation of the landscape drawing examples from geological formations such as Tumuli.
