Ab-ORIGINAL tours
With Vivid Sydney wrapping up last month, find something new to do in Sydney such as a unique Aboriginal-led tour. Enjoy a guided walk of The Rocks with Dreamtime Southern X and learn about the Gadigal peoples’ spiritual connection with Sydney Harbour. Foodies can book an Aboriginal Bush Tucker Tour in the Royal Botanic Garden Sydney and discover more about traditional bush foods, from the past to present day, and you can even climb the Sydney Harbour Bridge with a First Nations guide on the Burrawa Climb: life before colonisation is as compelling as the views.
