wukalina Walk

Brilliant! If you have any interest in Aboriginal culture, Tasmanian history and love nature this is an amazing trip. Great people and very easygoing, with excellent facilities and food. Highly recommended.

Holy cow! What a fantastic experience. It was so much more than a walk. We got to dive into the culture through sight, sound, touch and taste. Our leader Nathan was full of knowledge, insight, and intellect. Our guide Harley Jack explained so much, and was such a hard worker. The support staff was amazing! The hospitality we were shown was incredible considering we were literally in the middle of nowhere eating amazing food that was prepared for us. The accommodations were also amazing considering our location! If you’re on the fence about signing up, just do it. You won’t regret it!

I've just returned home after spending several days on the wukalina Walk (19-22 January 2024). I found this to be an immersive physical, mental and spiritual experience. The description of the amount and difficulty of the walking each day seemed accurate to me but will vary according to the ambient temperature and weather conditions on country, as well as the background fitness and experience of the walker. The design of the walk is sound, and the second day balances out the first and third day walks. The knowledge sharing of the guides provided interest and context to the walk, and was something to be celebrated. The second day, a less intensive walking day, provided mental and spiritual balance, with time spent on a living site. It was a special experience to participate in, along with the identification and sharing of bush tucker each day. There was also the opportunity to participate in craft activities. The meals provided were varied and a very pleasant introduction to bush tucker presented at superior restaurant levels. The accomodation at the two sites was an absolute delight, the bedding and facilities being very comfortable. The third day walk was challenging due to strong winds but we made good time and once again we were greeted with cold drinks and then a platter of food before the evening meal. Gaining knowledge about Palawa people and their country was a true pleasure and I look forward to participating in other experiences in the future.

the wukalina walk is truly an amazing journey, unlike anything I have ever experienced. The guides, Hank, Carleeta and Ash are incredible storytellers and so generous with their knowledge. I learnt so much about Tasmanian history and Palawa resiliency, bush foods, local animals and Palawa language. I wish there was something like this in areas all across Australia! I highly recommend!!!

I have just spent 4 incredible days with @wukalinawalk walking within the magnificent wukalina (Mt William NP) to krakani lumi and then onto larapuna (Bay of Fires) NE lutruwita Our beautiful guides Cody, Jessie, and Ash generously shared their stories, language, food and deep time knowledge; creating the most incredible immersive experience. Our first night watching the full withi (moon) rise over the bush as Cody and Jessie cook muttonbird on the fire pit at krakani lumi is just one of these treasured moments. The healthy yamina (grass tree) & surrounding bush landscape at krakani lumi hums with life after the traditional cool burn patrula (fire) practice. Time to disconnect and reconnect, staring out across muka (the sea) to tayaritja (the Furneaux Islands) as panupirii (the sun) shone was such a gift. Time to create and learn the traditional art of grass weaving was such a special way to connect and be still in the peace of krakani lumi camp . Searching for cowrie shells with the group & Cody @kaparuninaarts time to treasure 🤍 (a lovely bounty collected for traditional shell stringing for Aunty Mel) I am deeply grateful for this opportunity; a heartfelt thank you to the Elders and the inspiring young team @wukalinawalk , whose powerful knowledge, connection and love of county is truely humbling. I am forever indebted to you all and your community.

Absolutely incredible. Thank you to everyone involved. Highly recommend doing if you are able!

Wonderful tour, great people and awesome country
