Bondi Beach
We begin at the North Bondi Golf Course, on the corner of Blair St and Military Road, near the cliffs overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Walangari Karntawarra (B.A. & B.Ed.), a Bondi resident and Arrernte Aboriginal Elder, welcomes the group with a didgeridoo ceremony. Enroute we pass Ben Buckler Gun Battery, a heritage-listed fortified former gun emplacement, named after a local bushranger who lived in a cave nearby. Passing examples of art deco architecture, the group takes in the sights and sounds of beautiful Bondi Beach. During this gentle, downhill walk you’ll see ancient Aboriginal Rock Carvings and traditional Aboriginal bush foods and medicines still growing wild in this beautiful coastal locale. An additional tour operator transmitter is available for use by your group leader or translator. All tours finish at the beautiful Bondi Pavilion. Option of including a traditional Aboriginal cultural performance by Diramu Aboriginal Dance and Didgeridoo.

5.00We thoroughly enjoyed this walking tour. Our elderly parents didn’t find the down hill walk too taxing and we had the added bonus of being able to translate things for them via the translator headsets, which made it easy for everybody to hear our guides fascinating commentary and ask questions. The optional Aboriginal cultural performance by Diramu Aboriginal Dance and Didgeridoo, on the beach at the end of the tour was such fun most of our group danced with them. It was a great experience.
Eye opening tour of Bondi's Aboriginal History

5.00Walangari is a charismatic speaker with fascinating stories to tell. His topics included the formation of and changes to our coastline over the ages; his own aboriginal family history (with an Afghan forbear!) in central Australia; early cultural exchanges with people visiting from Egypt and South America and dot painting being the result of desert Aborigines creating art as seen from the sky. His varied demonstrations of plant uses were informative and entertaining, surprising us with the comforting fragrance of willow tree leaves rubbed between our hands! Walangari really does offer a worthwhile tour and his audio equipment saved us from straining to hear, especially with the backdrop of passing buses and lorries.

5.00Really interesting walk with Walangari on his Bondi Aboriginal Walking Tour. Our group was all ages and we got to ask questions and learn things about Bondi’s ancient and modern history. Made me want to move there. The cultural performance by Diramu Aboriginal Dance and Didgeridoo that we booked at the end of the tour was amazing. I highly recommend this tour and optional performance to local and visitors alike.
