Discover Ancient Aquaculture at Tae Rak
Kick-start your journey of exploration at the Tae Rak Aquaculture Centre, where you'll get an insightful glimpse into the ingenious aquaculture practices of the Gunditjmara people. Dating back 6,600 years, this intricate system of eel farming utilized stone traps that could be adjusted based on eel size, embodying an early form of sustainable farming. Your journey continues at the heart of Budj Bim, the Kurtonitj Indigenous Protected Area (IPA). This cultural treasure trove houses remnants of stone eel traps, stone channels, and eel-smoking trees, a testament to an era when this landscape thrived with activity.
Unveiling the Wonders of Stone Country at Tungatt Mirring
Continuing your journey, arrive at Budj Bim National Park. Nestled within the Western Victorian Volcanic Plains, this inactive volcano, known to Gunditjmara as Mount Eccles, awaits. Take a moment to enjoy your morning tea amidst the tranquil surroundings before you embark on a cultural walk across this 'Stone Country'. Marvel at Lake Surprise, a crater lake formed by one of Australia's youngest lava flows that extends over 50 kilometers. Explore the captivating lava tunnels and caves, a geological wonder of this terrain. Keep an eye out for the extensive koala population that finds sanctuary among these lush forests.
