Cultural Experiences with Matt Burns

Experience the rich Aboriginal history of Minjerribah (North Stradbroke Island) with local Aboriginal guide, Matthew Burns, ‘Matt’, on the Goompi Trail.

Take a leisurely and interactive tour along a section of the foreshore in Dunwich, overlooking beautiful Moreton Bay. Hear stories of traditional hunting methods, bush tucker, medicines, traditional ochres, and the remnants of an old rock fish trap.

Meet Matt on the grass shaded by trees and learn about Quandamooka culture, discussing traditions and practices. Watch demonstrations such as fire-lighting and spear-throwing and take part in a short walking tour of the nearby foreshore to investigate local natural resources and a historical midden. Discover the history and impact of colonization, and examine tools and instruments used by the Quandamooka people.
