Experience an Indigenous welcome to Sydney

Uncover the oldest culture in the world together with Margret Campbell and her team. Margret is part of a prominent tribe, the Dunghutti Aboriginal people, and the founder of a tour company - an Aboriginal-run family business. Margret offers bespoke tours based on the culture, history and heritage of her people and ancestors.


The tour will teach you more about the diverse traditions, the Indigenous way of life and their moving history. Let yourself be fascinated by the lasting impressions of this ancient tradition of a "Welcome to Country" ceremony. This was practised thousands of years ago when an indigenous community asked for permission to enter the traditional land of another clan.

This ceremony is conducted by an Aboriginal elder. Who welcomes visitors to their traditional land. The ceremony can be accompanied by singing, dancing, smoking ceremonies or a speech. It pays tribute to the Aboriginal people - the original guardians of Australia - and makes participants aware of how long, intense and lasting the Aboriginal people's relationship with their country has been.
