MOSSMAN GORGE DREAMTIME WALKS

A “must do” for every visitor to Mossman Gorge are the Ngadiku Dreamtime Walks,
conducted by the local Indigenous people. Ngadiku (Nar-di-gul) means stories and
legends from a long time ago in local Kuku Yalanji language.
The walks take visitors on a journey along private, gentle tracks, visiting special places and
culturally significant sites, past traditional bark shelters and over meandering cool rainforest
streams. You are welcomed with a traditional ‘smoking’ ceremony that cleanses and wards
off bad spirits. The walk then meanders through stunning rainforest and takes in traditional
huts or humpies. Your experienced interpretive Indigenous guide demonstrates traditional
plant use, identify bush food sources and provide an enchanting narrative of the rainforest
and their special relationship with this unique tropical environment. Your guide demonstrates
traditions like making bush soaps and ochre painting. At the end of the tour enjoy traditional
bush tea and damper.
Duration approx 1.5 hours. Departs 10am, 11am, 12pm, 1pm
and 3pm daily
