All our activities take place in and around the Aboriginal communities Lilla, Wanmara and Ulpanyali. These communities are located in Wattarrka National Park, which is close to Kings Canyon. Our main purpose is to close ‘the gap’ between indigenous and non-indigenous Australians. We believe that helping to create a better understanding of this 45.000 year old culture participates in this goal. By offering tours which also contents other aspects, like hiking, swimming and most off all adventure, our tours are a complete package for getting an award. You can find an example of itineraries of our tours in this envelope. Naturally, we can adjust any of your wishes to these tours.
