Sample Program

New Growth

“Our culture belongs to all of us to share and
become connected. We all have a right to know, to learn, and to spread across Australia. Our work represents the knowledge that is embedded in the country, that is where our strength and wisdom have come from, and we must understand that cultural education is the main vessel for this change…we have to all walk the same path”

– Mungul Lacey

We want to let you know how seriously we take that responsibility and how excited we are about the opportunity to immerse them in the culture of the first Australians in East Arnhem Land. We draw from extensive resources and have spent countless hours planning our trips to make them as exciting and enriching as possible.”

‘ I HAVE LEARNED AND GROWN INTO A BETTER PERSON AND AM NOW
