The Narrandera Region in New South Wales provides a unique opportunity to delve into Aboriginal culture through the Sandhills Artefacts Cultural Tours. Led by Wiradjuri artist Michael Lyons or his family members, the tour offers insights into traditional ways of life and the area's rich cultural history. Participants can learn about authentic artefacts, carvings, and artworks inspired by Wiradjuri culture, and enjoy a guided bush walk to explore bush medicines, wildlife, and the Murrumbidgee River, alongside visits to sacred Aboriginal sites like the Birthing Rocks and Caves.
The experience includes sampling Michael's home-cooked bush foods and a delicious lunch, as well as the chance to visit his workshop and gallery to appreciate and purchase his creations. For an unforgettable evening, guests can opt for a campfire dinner, listening to Michael's stories while basking in the warmth of the fire. Cultural tours are available on-demand and can be booked via email or phone, providing a rare opportunity to engage with one of the world's oldest living cultures and gain insights into the distinctive cultural landscape surrounding Narrandera.
