You will be travelling with a local Indigenous operator: Haydyn, who is an Adnyamathanha man who provides tours to his ancient and spectacular homeland from an Aboriginal perspective. His tours focus on cultural integrity and authenticity. As you commence your travels across Indigenous Australia you are stepping into a diverse cultural experience of more than 40,000 years in the making. You will be enriched by Haydyn’s insights into his culture that reaches back to the Dreamtime.
Haydyn has a commitment to ‘caring for country’ – this is an Aboriginal term which embodies the special connection the Aboriginal people have with the land and water. They have responsibilities to the land to ensure its spiritual, cultural and economic survival. Haydyn’s guests are given an insight into caring for country and are advised on best environmental practices when touring.
Haydyn’s stringent environmental management practices include:
- All waste (rubbish) is carried out with each tour and disposed of correctly;
- Use of re-usable containers;
- Food waste is used for animal food and compost;
- Ensure that water holes are left covered to avoid contamination by animals;
- Carry own water supplies and encourage minimal water consumption;
- Energy is conserved wherever possible;
- Always use hardened tracks for walking tours and advise visitors to stay on track to avoid trampling vegetation.
- Visitors are advised to maintain distance from wildlife to avoid unnecessary disturbance and to not collect animal or bird matter.
Haydyn is in regular contact with the traditional owners of local Aboriginal communities through which he travels. This ensures he promotes and visits sites that have been approved for visitation by Elders and traditional owners.
We invite every traveller who books a holiday via us to send in a review. Because we don't run the holidays they're completely independent and unedited... remember to read between the lines though, as two people on the same holiday can have different views!
