The tour was very well organised and informative and how lucky are we that this community shares their cultural knowledge with us. Thank you to out guides and we are very happy we took the time to do this. Everyone should do this.

We live in the area and took friends from Melbourne with us to do the tour. We started with the story of the eels, which was fascinating, and then proceeded to the eel traps and stone houses. Our guide, Luke, was outstanding. He told us some hard truths but in a very friendly and non-judgemental way. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and will return to see the area in another season.

We did a half day tour, Luke was a fantastic guide. I didn't fully appreciate this incredible history previously. So proud of First Nations culture. A must for those who read Dark Emu. We also had the smoked eel tapas which we loved and thought was way better than smoked salmon or trout. We also really like the tomatoe relish. Definitely go and then tell all your friends and family to go.

The tour was very informative. Our guide Luke was great, and gave us some insight into the indigenous culture, as well as the whole eel trap process.

We heard about the UNESCO World Heritage Listing and put Budj Bim on our lists of places to visit. We’re pretty lucky to have something of this significance and age, right on our doorstep! The investment into the beautiful facilities and cultural wisdom that went into designing the tours celebrate these extraordinary feats of engineering by our First Nations peoples. I only wish we had done the full day tour, but my primary school age kids were flagging in the heat, despite best efforts by Joseph to answer their questions and engage them throughout the tour.

As we approached Tae Rak, the water filled lake with masses of bird life was a sight to see. We were very impressed by the quality built aquaculture centre, where our tour began & where we enjoyed a tasting plate afterwards. Our tour guide Luke, was very informative about the life cycle of local eels, the history of the Budj Bim landscape & the Gunditjmara culture. We are planning to visit again in the winter or ‘wet season’!

We very much enjoyed our half day tour. Bush Bim is stunningly breathtaking country and we appreciated being able to experience it. Thank you to everyone involved and especially Reuben our tour leader whose commentary has given us much to think about. Don’t forget to have the eel share platter at the end of the tour. So delicious!

The tour was highly recommended by a friend, so I was expecting good things. But not that it would be a complete revelation. I'm a school teacher, familiar with the current Australian curriculum which does endeavor to educate our children more truthfully about indigenous life and history. We've had elders come and speak to our classes. But Budj Bim was life-changing. It was a powerful experience to stand on country and hear cultural and historical stories directly from descendants of our ancient people. Ruben taught us more about these things in 4 hours than I have learned teaching children from books and the internet for 20 years. And the land itself is stunning. Everyone should book a tour at Budj Bim.

Wonderful and informative tour of an ingenious ancient system, built and still maintained by an uninterrupted lineage if owners. Wonderful!

ronin280

The landscape was beautiful. Our guide Ruben was extremely knowledgeable, engaging and very informative. It was a privilege to have the history of indigenous peoples and their way of life in that area explained in such detail. Their ingenuity in developing means of survival, preservation and respect for country is/was incredible. We came away much richer for the experience.
