BushTracks ...follow ancestral footsteps and discover the taste, scent and sound of nautre!
I am a tour guide, with over 20 years of experience in the Tourism Industry! I worked alongside indigenous guides in Arnhemland and presented interpretive programs in the World Heritage listed Kakadu National Park. My interest and passion about history, culture and native flora and fauna brings us here today – the creation of “BushTracks”! My vision is to share my love and knowledge about the bush with people. People who travel Australia. People who live in Australia. People who will look at plants and remember what they have learnt from me during “BushTracks”. I would like to invite you to fully immerse yourself in a truly unique experience on the Discovery Coast. Our 44-acre bush property is located within the Goreng Goreng Nation, just outside of Agnes Water/1770 and I live here with my beautiful wife and two young boys. “BushTracks” takes you on a journey through native Australian bushland, rich with Bushtucker and Bush Medicine. Learn about traditional and cultural uses of plants, embark on a journey through past and present and learn about cultural burning practices protecting our land. Several native bee hives keep our plants thriving all year around. Wildlife habitats can be seen on the peaceful walk through our ever-changing bushland. The vast variety of native trees inhabit over 60 species of birds. Bring your binoculars - you never know which bird you might spot on the day! Stop for a minute and give yourself the opportunity to truly immerse in nature! - Listen to the bush - Feel the bush - See the bush - Taste the bush After an informative walk through the canopy of tall gumtrees, you will enjoy a delicious cup of local, organic Tielka Tea, accompanied by Wattle Seed Choc Chip Cookies and Davidson Plum Slice from Dreamtime Tuka - a majority owned Aboriginal company located in NSW. Entice your taste buds by sampling an array of Australian made native spreads supplied by Kurrajong Australian Native Foods. Listen to the sounds of the birds, the wind in the trees and reflect on the experience you’ve just had! We work closely with local organisations like Tangaroa Blue, Australian Native Bee Association and Tielka Tea to promote sustainable practices within our business.
