Coastal Beach and Mangrove Walk

Cooya Beach, Queensland

Traditional Food and Medicine Tour Kuku Yalanji Traditional Custodian will meet with visitors to their traditional homeland on Cooya beach where they continue to practice their cultural activities and maintain their cultural heritage. After explaining the cultural importance of this country, guides will introduce guests to their traditional fishing activity of spear throwing and handling as it is still practiced there today. Visitors will then follow their cultural guide with a spear each along Cooya beach observing cultural medicine and food plants. The guides will then take guests along with them as they continue their daily spear fishing and gathering for their families into the mangroves and onto the mudflats. After about an hour and a half of cultural activities and coastal walking guests will return with the guides to see Kuku Yalanji artefacts and share rare stories from their traditional land while they prepare their daily food for their families.

Standard tours are not inclusive of the traditional hunting activity. Child (4-12years) AUD82.50 Adult AUD110.00 Private Traditional Hunting tours are available upon request and are priced at a higher rate.
