Background information
The legacy of this company is to provide income for Aboriginal people showcasing their culture. Each tour supports an indigenous business or indigenous employees in showcasing their culture to the world.
This was a personal legacy that I introduced into the business, with my passion for Indigenous culture.
Acknowledging the rare gift they offer to humanity, their gift of "knowledge" -there is so much for tour guests to learn, from the oldest living culture in the world.
The tours educate people on looking beyond the veil to todays modern world, and see the magnificence of these very humble and educated people, and their traditions passed down from generations to generations.
