The Dharug people are Parramatta’s first people and the traditional custodians of this land. Parramatta’s name comes from their word “baramada", meaning “the place of eels”.
This easy walk, along the Parramatta River and in beautiful Parramatta Park, is a wonderful opportunity to spend time in the country with an Aboriginal traditional custodian, learning about connections to land, plant uses, tools, hunting and other aspects of local culture.
This tour is suitable for adults and families with primary school children, aged seven years plus. The route is partly along unfenced waterways and shared pathways. Carers must supervise younger children in their care, who must be able to keep up with the pace of the group.
Pure joy as you wake to the sunrise. Awe as you make it to the snowy peak. A sense of adventure as you motor across red plains. The relief of rejuvenation as you wade into an alpine stream. Connection as you taste native, fragrant leaves. A sense of belonging as you return to your favourite holiday house. Freedom as you dash into the waves. Discover the endless feelings a visit to NSW can inspire.
