First Nations Walk & Weave Tour

‘Walk and Weave’ at North Head Sanctuary in Manly is a beautiful First Nations-led experience presented by the Sydney Federation Harbour Trust.

This immersive 90-minute session combines a gentle guided bushland walk with hands-on weaving using native materials. Led by proud Gumbaynggirr woman and experienced educator Caressa Murphy from Koori Kinnections, guests will explore stories, traditions and the deep cultural connections First Nations peoples have with Country.

This tour starts at 10am. Please bring suitable walking shoes, sun protection, a hat, and a drink bottle.
