Indigenous Insights

The Outback Pathways not only follow the European history of the Gascoyne Murchison but also open up the fascinating world of Indigenous culture in these parts.

Many of the interpretative signs along the Pathways explain the wonders of this ancient culture. Learn about bush tucker and medicine, magical Dreaming stories or of Aboriginal people’s amazing relationship with the land.

You can discover still more about Indigenous culture here by purchasing a copy of the Gascoyne Murchison Outback Pathways Guidebook. The book features an in-depth look at Aboriginal history in the Gascoyne Murchison. It also comes complete with ‘Indigenous Insights’ – first person recounts from Aboriginal people who have called the region home. These insights are spread throughout the book, providing a firsthand insight into Aboriginal culture from the people themselves.

The Gascoyne Murchison Outback Pathways CD also features tales from Aboriginal people of the region. You’ll learn about droving, Dreamtime spirits and an uncanny ability to read nature and the land.
