Walk and Talk Around the First Basin:

 Program

This is a two-hour session starting at the West Launceston car-park entrance to the First Basin. The walk meanders in a clock-wise manner along the path, across the Suspension Bridge, and over the river causeway passing the Café and back to the car-park.

Participants will experience:

• A Welcome to Country and Ochre Ceremony.
•  Learn about material cultural practices.
• Hands on string making using natural plant fibre.
• Taste bush foods (in season) and plants/products for medicinal use.
•  Hear stories of the significance of Country, Aboriginal Spiritual origins of the river and geological formations that shaped the Gorge,
• Women’s Business and Men’s Business.

We will twine Circles of Memory sculptures to honour the Aboriginal ancestors, heal the land and pledge our commitment to walk together in peace and harmony.
