Worth it - Beautiful place to go that we wouldn’t have visited if it wasn’t for the tour there. I found the price a little restrictive (we paid $65/person and on top of that car parking, would be good if she could strike a deal with the car park to get a discount for people) Im from UK and it’s been 20+ years since I learnt anything about Australia and could only remember Dreamtime stories vaguely. The guide started off really strong and gave a warm aboriginal welcome, we had stories true and Dreamtime and even bush tucker at the end which was a treat. I would have liked to hear more from her describing life as it would be 100s of years ago and about what steps she thinks can help aboriginals in Australia going forward. Very knowledgeable and glad I did it. I was with a baby and a three year old, she engaged him which was great even if he did get distracted at times the walk was very doable for him. I think the price point is important as these tours give a chance to open the eyes of those who can vote for what matters in the future. (For anyone listening I reckon for every 15 acres owned a (once inexhaustible) red ceder needs to be planted and cultivated in an effort towards matching historical flora, also the lighthouse needs a redesign as it is on top of a important site - I get the lighthouse won’t be completely moved now but if lifted three metres off the ground with a domed centre (which would be painted with a constellation of stars, pillars supporting it which are open at the top to view through (and aesthetically pleasing) so the sacred ground can be reached at sat upon and the old times remembered, while still having the lighthouse)
