Walk and Weave on Global Wellness Day

Find joy on Global Wellness Day with a free cultural experience at North Head Sanctuary in Manly – ‘Walk and Weave’, a First Nations-led experience presented by the Sydney Federation Harbour Trust.

This immersive 90-minute session combines a beautiful, 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.

Highlights

As you move along the coastal headlands, you’re encouraged to view the landscape through a First Nations perspective, where every rock, tree and waterway holds story, significance and connection to Country.
Learn about traditional fishing and gathering practices, as well as the sustainable use of native plants for food, medicine and tools.
Set among stunning coastal landscapes, the experience offers a grounding and meaningful way to connect with nature, culture and community.
