Along the 5 km of walking track network at Huon Bush Retreats, we are in the process of developing a series of 32 interpretive panels. The panels “interpret” the area around them including specific items in the readers view. The central theme focuses on how native plants and animals were the original inhabitants, followed by Aboriginal people. Early Europeans had quite different views of the land and current custodians have different views again. But across these three groups, there is a remarkable amount of similarity in various behaviours.

This interpretive development has been possible with funding assistance by Australian Tourism Development Program through the AusIndustry Grants scheme.

We  supply walking track maps and a take home booklet containing additional information about the Aboriginal custodianship and practices in the area will be available in the near future.
