The Aboriginal Dharug, Gundungurra, Wanaruah, Wiradjuri, Darkinjung and TharawalNations as the traditional owners of the Greater Blue Mountains World Heritage Area.

This glow worm colony is on a private property in the rainforest. You are guided on an adventure by an Ecologist into this unique environment. No other tour or in Australia lets you get so close to Glow Worms in their natural habitat.

Aboriginal Arts & Culture
For viewing and supporting Aboriginal Art, we stopped in at the Wollombi Cultural Centre and talked with the curators at THe Fireshed Gallery, which holds regular Aboriginal Art exhibitions throughout the year.

Bookings are essential and we recommend two guides:

Or

The key focus of Ngurra Bu* (pronounced ‘nurra ba’) is to educate Indigenous and
non-Indigenous people about traditional Aboriginal culture and history.
We believe that true cultural awareness comes from maintaining and sharing a living culture.
Set on 40 hectares of lush countryside in the lower Hunter Valley at Wollombi, the property is a traditional Aboriginal site. It is used as a base camp to guide visitors to various lore sites, including rock engravings and cave paintings within the Wollombi and Broke valleys. Ngurra Bu runs a variety of programs designed to educate and inform the groups who come to stay. Visitors can learn about Aboriginal spirituality and culture, bush tucker and bush medicine, with one, two and three night packages available.

Contemporary Arts
In Bilpin, BigCi is an independent, arctist run, not for profit artist residency program focusing on artists’ professional development and facilitating their projects.
Orly Faya Artistry
A key inspiration in Blue Mountains was meeting Orly Faya and understanding her art. Her work is primarily focused upon the topics of relatedness; between humanity and the earth, between man and woman, and significantly the relationship we all have with ourselves. You can find Orly and her travel schedule here.
