Eurobodalla has countless walks to discover along the coast, state forests, national parks, villages and towns.

Gulaga walk

Gulaga, the backdrop to Tilba, is the ancestral origin of the Aboriginal Yuin people. The mountain symbolises their mother and provides a basis for spiritual identity. The steep track up the mountain was built for gold miners in 1884, but a guided walk by local Yuin people is the best way to immerse yourself in the true spirit of the land. You can do it yourself, and a track leaves from behind the old ‘Pam’s Store’, now an incredible café called La Galette. It’s roughly a five-hour return walk and the trail is easy to follow, gently guiding you through deep green rainforest and past magnificent granite tors, sacred to the Yuin women of the south coast of NSW.

For a full immersion in the world’s oldest living culture take the Gulaga Creation Tour. This 40 hour experience with Ngaran Ngaran Cultural Awareness is delivered by the traditional custodians of Yuin country, who invite you to come, walk and listen to a sacred dreaming of creation that Gulaga holds, and enable you to experience firsthand ceremony and dreaming stories that have been passed down.

Bingie dreaming track

One of the most significant Aboriginal and coastal walks in Eurobodalla is the Bingie Dreaming Track, south of Moruya.

This coastal walk within the Eurobodalla National Park is of immense cultural significance to the traditional landowners. Indigenous tours explain its songlines as invisible threads with messages about food, water, laws and seasons. It also talks to the relationship between prominent points like Gulaga Mountain and Montague Island (Baranguba), being important women’s and men’s places.

Tour guides from Minga Aboriginal Cultural Services introduce the land as a living person – “the earth is our mother, the sky is our father, the oceans are our brothers and the rivers our sisters.” Tours can touch on other traditional and educational components such as bush tucker, medicine, language and crafts like making fire and whistling up snakes.

The track is accessible by foot (via Eurobodalla National Park), by car from the highway and Moruya or by the South Coast Seaplane Tour. A 13.5km path follows a traditional song-line taken by Brinja-Yuin people for thousands of years. You’ll see traces of shell middens on this track, which stretches from Congo to Tuross Head in the south.
