Be touched by the most ancient human culture on earth on a 90-minute leisurely walkabout with an Aboriginal guide in The Rocks, and journey into Dreamtime, the culture of Aboriginal People.
This leisurely walkabout around The Rocks uncovers the authentic history of the Aboriginal people’s saltwater heritage within Sydney Harbour, their land and water use and their spiritual connection to the adjoining waterways and foreshores.
Aboriginal guides will demonstrate how this place we now know as Sydney continues to weave the Dreamtime Southern X text into it’s modern, built up environment. Discover how to experience contemporary Aboriginal society right in the heart of cosmopolitan Sydney today.
Drawing upon knowledge populated from the oldest ecologists, conservationists, wildlife carers, botanists, astronomers, climatologists and marine biologists on the Earth today, the guides will explain how this ancient wisdom continues to reveal itself within the English settlement of The Rocks.

This is an incredible way to see Sydney from a totally different perspective, and understand that aboriginal culture (for all the complexity and diversity encompassed in that phrase) is alive and well - and something we can all learn from. This tour should be compulsory for everyone visiting the city
We really enjoyed Margret's Dreamtime Aboriginal Tour, and the opportunity to understand the rich history and culture of Australia's indigenous people. Would recommend the tour to others because you gain a better appreciation of a place that you visit, when you understand its beginnings.
