Join Barbara Quayle and David Doyle from Wontanella Tours for a Walk on Country at the Menindee Lakes on beautiful Barkindji Country.


Wontanella is the Barkindji word for many waters. Stroll around the Menindee Lakes with Barb and Dave who will lead you along paths their ancestors use to walk and share with you millennia old Barkindji knowledges of bush medicine, food, animals, plants and artefacts. The walk will be done in a relaxed manner. There will be uneven surfaces along the way.

Following the walk, we will share some tradtional food together.
