Overview

Be touched by the most ancient human culture on earth in a 90-minute leisurely walkabout with an Aboriginal guide in The Rocks Sydney, and journey into DreamTime, the culture of Aboriginal People.

illi-Langi The Rocks Aboriginal Dreaming Tour is 100 per cent Aboriginal-owned and was developed by Aboriginal Elder, Margret Campbell, a Dunghutti – Jerrinjah woman. It is led by Aboriginal guides who have her permission to share her cultural knowledge. The tour gives you the opportunity to discover how the ancient Aboriginal DreamTime is still alive within the modern Sydney landscape and how the billion-year-old harbour, marine environment, sandstone strata, waterways, flora and fauna continue to influence how Aboriginal people live today.

Really insightful and eye opening tour about the aboriginal culture and what has been lost due to the dark history of colonisation... A must do in Sydney - really enjoyed it ❤️

This walking tour in Sydney introduced us to the culture and customs of possibly the earliest humans on earth. Their connection to the earth and nature is profound and woven into their spirituality and daily lives. This influences many Australians' keen awareness and concern for the environment. We were also shown early evidence of the lives they lived before the arrival of white men. This tour is a must for those interested in the early history of humans in Australia (recent artifacts dated to 80,000 years ago).

Not worth it. Nothing else to say. I did not get the experience I had expected. It was disappointing.

Brilliant, loved this tour. Very informative and removed alot of myths developed through movies and the media. Always worth getting to know a country's history from the indiginate population.
