Bundian Way - Bilbaan Cultural Experience

The Bundian Way - Bilbaan Cultural Experience is a deeply enriching 3-hour journey situated at Jiggamy, 4381 Princes Hwy, Broadwater NSW. Operated by the Eden Local Aboriginal Land Council, this walk offers far more than just a trek through coastal landscapes—it’s a chance to step into the living culture of Thaua Country. Starting at the Keeping Place in Jigamy, guests are greeted with a traditional smoking ceremony, an elemental rite that cleanses and honors both people and land before setting off.

From here, small groups follow a carefully selected 3.8-kilometer section along the Bundian Way, an ancient Aboriginal pathway once used for trade, ceremony, and connection, stretching from Twofold Bay (Turemulerrer) to Mount Kosciuszko (Targangal). The trail passes through diverse ecosystems—dense coastal bushland, coastal heath, and exposed old water tables—each site layered with meaning. This walk culminates at the Pinnacles, a dramatic geological formation on the coast that commands stunning ocean views and offers a physical touchpoint to the region’s deep natural history.

What sets this experience apart is the guidance of Country Custodians who share stories, knowledge of local plants, and insights into cultural practices that have sustained Aboriginal communities for thousands of years. This is not just a walk; it’s an immersive lesson in resilience, tradition, and respect for Country. Located within Beowa National Park, the tour carefully balances accessibility and preservation, ensuring that visitors leave with a heightened appreciation of Aboriginal heritage and the fragile environment.

By participating, travelers contribute directly to the local community, supporting cultural pride and intergenerational knowledge transfer. Whether you’re seeking meaningful cultural engagement or a walk with a powerful story woven into every step, the Bundian Way experience is a must-visit for anyone interested in Australia’s living history and extraordinary coastal landscapes.
