Jamanee Gunya Cultural Experience Course
Come and experience a day with Noel Butler at Jamanee Gunya on a Cultural Experience Course, and learn about the culture of the Budawang people – the local Aboriginal people of the Milton area on the South Coast of New South Wales.
Noel Butler is a traditional custodian and Jamanee Gunya’s educator. Noel relays the stories and customs of his people – the Budawang people, in vivid detail.
Your day begins at Jamanee Gunya at 8am with Noel introducing a brief outline of Budawang culture and history. You will then be transferred into the beautiful Meroo National Park to enjoy canoeing around Meroo Lake. While on the lake, Noel will point out flora used for bush tucker and medicinal purposes. Following this, enjoy a barbecue lunch of traditional game, for example, kangaroo, with salad, tea/coffee and cake. You will also get to try local bush tucker, and hear the local story of creation – the Dreamtime – of Pigeon House Mountain, known locally as Dithul.
Upon return to Jamanee Gunya, you will learn the history of and use of a Boomerang, and have the opportunity to paint your own.
