There is a wealth of secrets and mysteries to be unfolded when it comes to the ancient Australian Aboriginal culture. The Australian Aboriginal Culture is one of the oldest living cultures of the world that dates back at least 50,000 years. In Tropical North Queensland where the Monsoon Season can bring weeks of heavy rainfall, many Aboriginal tribes lived under the dense rainforest canopy, in semi-permanent villages of dome-shaped houses, cooking in ground ovens and curing meat, fish and eels on smoking-racks.
Venture into the wild spaces of Far North Queensland, and you enter a world steeped in ancient Aboriginal culture with spirits and legends recorded in rock art.
The Bama Way Aboriginal Journeys is an innovative partnership which brings together three highly acclaimed Aboriginal owned and operated tour companies. The Bama Way (pronounced Bumma) links Kuku Yalanji Cultural Habitat Tours, Walker Family Tours and the award winning Aboriginal Elder, Wilfred (Willie) Gordon of Guurrbi Tours. The term ‘Bama’ is widely used throughout Far North Queensland to mean an Aboriginal person, but in both tribes, the word simply means 'person' regardless of nationality or race.
The tours are operated by the traditional custodians of the local area, showing different facets of Aboriginal culture. The tours take place on the Bama Way; an Aboriginal journey through Tropical North Queensland, from Cairns and Port Douglas to north of Cooktown following storylines through the two Aboriginal nations, the Kuku Yalanji and Guugu Yimithirr tribes.
You will journey along story-lines through coastal mangroves, pristine rainforest of the World Heritage Listed Daintree National Park and hilltop Savannah where you will spend time with the traditional custodians of the land who know its resources, its stories and its sacred places. Become part of the story of the Bama Way.
