Emu Dreaming Emu Farm Tour
YOUR EXPERIENCE PROVIDER
Wuddi Aboriginal Cultural Tours
Join Grant and Anne Riley on an experience in the bush garden at the Wuddi Aboriginal Art Gallery in the Golden Outback region of Western Australia. Your tour commences in the sunken bush food garden surrounded by native bush foods. Your guide Grant will welcome you in language and share his history, traditional artefacts, storytelling and cultural heritage of the area and its First People.
The ‘weitj’ (emu) was prized by the local Aboriginal people of the Dumbleyung area. Discover the various hunting techniques traditionally employed by the Wilman people to hunt this important source of food and how they were first to recognise the medicinal properties of emu oil. Travel in air-conditioned comfort on our 12 seater tour bus and visit an emu farm and see these majestic birds up close, learn about how emu oil is used today in pharmaceuticals and cosmetics and have the opportunity to purchase products direct from the farm.
