EXPERIENCE THE WORLD'S OLDEST LIVING CULTURE IN THE HEART OF SYDNEY
The Royal Botanic Garden Sydney offers an opportunity for local,
domestic and international visitors to learn about the richly diverse
history and culture of Aboriginal People within Australia.
One of our Indigenous Guides will conduct a tour where you
will learn about Indigenous people, places and plants and in
particular, the Cadigal People of the Eora Nation who are the
Traditional Custodians of this land.
The Gardens was a site in which the First Nations people lived off and
farmed for many years before settlement. The tour will allow visitors
and guests to learn and experience Indigenous Culture with view of two
of Sydney’s most iconic landmarks.
