Guided by a Gunditjmara cultural guide, this experience offers a meaningful introduction to the UNESCO World Heritage listed Budj Bim Cultural Landscape. Learn about the seasonal migration of kooyang (eel), the ingenuity behind one of the world's oldest known aquaculture systems, and the enduring connection between Gunditjmara people and Country.
As you spend time by the lake, you'll gain insight into the knowledge and cultural practices that have shaped this landscape for thousands of years. Surrounded by abundant birdlife, open water and picturesque lakeside scenery, the experience provides an opportunity to slow down, connect with nature and develop a deeper appreciation of Country.
Tae Rak is more than a beautiful destination. It forms an important part of the Budj Bim Cultural Landscape, where generations of Gunditjmara people worked with the natural environment and the seasonal movement of kooyang to create an extensive aquaculture system that sustained community and culture for more than 6,600 years.
