About this tour
Walk through Burleigh Headland with a Yugambeh guide who shares Dreaming stories and the cultural landscape of the Gold Coast. Based at the Jellurgal Aboriginal Cultural Centre, this two-hour tour takes you into Burleigh Heads National Park to discover sacred sites, traditional food sources, and the practices that have shaped this country for millennia. You'll see the Pacific Ocean, spot dolphins and sea eagles, and understand why Tallebudgera Creek and Echo Beach matter to the people whose ancestors lived here.

What to expect
You'll start indoors with a presentation that contextualises what you're about to see, then head into the park on foot. Your guide will point out plants used traditionally, explain the Dreaming narratives connected to the landscape, and answer questions about how knowledge has been passed down. The walk is steady-paced with good views over water where wildlife occasionally appears. Expect to learn the 'why' behind what's visible—why certain rocks matter, what the creeks meant, how country was read and used. It's not a hike; it's a conversation with the landscape.
