Begin your day with a hearty breakfast at your hotel. The morning unfolds with a traditional Aboriginal "Welcome to Country" ceremony, a profoundly moving introduction to the land's heritage. Following this, engage in an Indigenous talk and partake in the Kipli Takawa Aboriginal bush food tour, savouring a vegan meal inspired by local bush flavours—an extraordinary culinary treat. Vital to the culture, "Palawa Kipli" means "Tasmanian indigenous food", and the business proudly celebrates traditional food practices, fostering cultural revival and supporting the Tasmanian Aboriginal community through impactful engagement.
Returning to Hobart, enjoy a visit to the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery, home to a fascinating collection of exhibits showcasing Tasmania’s natural and cultural history, including a dedicated Aboriginal gallery that deepens your understanding of the day’s themes.
In the afternoon, enjoy a Private Premium Tour at Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary, a working sanctuary dedicated to rescuing and rehabilitating native animals. Begin with a complimentary drink and hear the inspiring story behind Bonorong’s mission before meeting resident quolls, wombats, wallabies, Tasmanian devils, echidnas and more. As day turns to night, watch the sanctuary come alive with nocturnal activity and conclude this special visit with a vegan dinner under the stars, surrounded by the sounds of the nocturnal animals going about their business.
