Cultural Mountain Walk (Guided Tour)

Sunday 21st March @10am

Connecting with Kunanyi’s stories

Kunanyi carries cultural stories and song lines, while generations of Palawa (Tasmanian Aboriginal people) have used (and still use) its flora and fauna.

The Guided Cultural Mountain Walk is a perfect way to connect deeper with the mountain if you’re running in another event, and the stories shared with you will stay with you forever, allowing you to reflect and draw on them - every time you run, or walk, with Kunanyi.

A Guided Cultural Mountain Walk

Come for a very special walk along the Octopus Track and learn how the Palawa people used to live and survive on Kunanyi, and hear about the cultural significance of the area. Take in spectacular views and hear the creation stories of the Trowunna and Palawa peoples.

You'll be guided by an experienced Kunanyi tour guide who will share knowledge that spans thousands of generations as you walk along some of Kunanyi’s most impressive trails. The mountain carries cultural stories and song lines, while generations of Palawa (Tasmanian Aboriginal people) have used (and still use) its flora and fauna.

These are a perfect way to connect deeper with the mountain if you’re running in another event, or your supporting another runner/walker. They are open to everyone to join.

The special stories shared with you will stay with you forever, allowing you to reflect and draw on them, every time you run, or walk, with Kunanyi.

“The tour was more than just an educational experience; it was a chance to walk with Kunanyi in a new way. The spectacular scenery was made even more powerful by the stories that were entrusted us with. Stories that will stay with me every time I return to these trails and features on the mountain… I now feel a responsibility and privilege to carry forward the wisdom imparted on this walk.”
