Indigenous walks and tours in Sydney
Long before the arrival of the First Fleet in 1788, Sydney was home to the world’s oldest living culture. The Gadigal people of the Eora Nation were the original custodians of the land that stretches along the southern shores of Port Jackson – now known as Sydney Harbour – from South Head to Petersham. Across the wider Sydney region, around 29 clan groups made up the Eora Nation, living by the harbour, rivers and coastline for tens of thousands of years.
While colonisation dramatically changed the landscape and lives of Aboriginal communities, culture, connection to Country and storytelling have endured. Today, Sydneysiders and visitors can experience Sydney's indigenous heritage through a deeper lens by joining any of these Aboriginal-led tours that share ancient knowledge, Dreamtime stories, bush tucker traditions and the enduring spiritual connection First Nations peoples have with this land.
