Jellurgal Dreaming Tour - Discover More About Aboriginal Culture

Jellurgal, Queenslamd, Australia, invites you to embark on a journey of discovery and explore the secret world of the first inhabitants of this region, the Yugambeh people. 

Designed for holidaymakers and locals wishing to learn more about the Aboriginal history of their region, Jellurgal Dreaming is an informative and fun five hour cultural experience. Begin with a brief bus trip to David Fleays Wildlife Park, where you will see Australian native wildlife such as kangaroos, koalas, crocodiles and brolgas in their native habitat before returning to the Jellurgal Cultural Hub in Burleigh Heads to wander along the pristine mangrove boardwalk and learn about the importance of these coastal tracts to the Aboriginal people. 

Begin your Jellurgal trek with an ancient smoking ceremony and ochre anointment on the beach at Burleigh Cove, performed by members of the local Yugambeh tribe. Visit the midden and other significant Aboriginal sites along the way. The Jellurgal trek takes 60 minutes but there is an option to return to the Centre at the midden, 15 minutes into the Jellurgal Dreaming Trek.
