  • Host, Mark, will accompany you on a walk in Penneshaw investigating Australia bush foods and bush medicines and he will begin discussing the culturally enriched stories of sites of deep significance. The stories will be from the beginning of the Kalowinyeri (creation) unfolding the layers of history, tales, and traditions of the local tribes to the current custodians of Kangaroo Island. (pass by)
  • Seal Bay Conservation Park
    Your next stop will be at Seal Bay Conservation Park, where you will hear about the sealing industry through Ngarrindjeri eyes and how Pungari the seal is an ancient being and good friend of Kondoli the whale.
  • Vivonne Bay
    A delicious two-course lunch will follow your Seal Bay Conservation Park visit. The lunch is based around the telling of the Nurrunderi story, our creator who entered the Kalowinyeri or spirit world and can be seen from Vivonne Bay.
  • Flinders Chase National Park
    From here, travel to the western most part of the Island, Flinders Chase National Park. As you travel through the park, keep an eye out for echidnas, wallabies, reptiles, and koalas. See the rugged coastline from walks around Remarkable Rocks and Admirals Arch. You will hear how Nurrunderi left this world and entered the Kalowinyeri to give the indigenous people life.
