The Caves of Kulnura

Enjoy an all day heritage walking adventure exploring the wilder parts of Kulnura with its unique flora and abundant birdlife with local outdoor guide Mike Breheny. Mike has lived in the Mangrove Creek area for over 30 years gaining extensive geographical and botanical knowledge that he loves sharing with others.

Our bush walk in this rugged landscape takes us past caves and overhangs with views to basalt country and beyond. On the way we encounter shelters many surveyed by Val Attenbrow and Jo McDonald before the inundation for Mangrove Creek dam. Attenbrow and colleagues documented hundreds of habitation and rock art sites with a diversity of motifs rendered in white clay, red ochre and charcoal in the archaeology of Upper Mangrove Creek.

Hear about the distinct geology of the region from sandstone and basalt to ironstone and conglomerate rock in an area mined for its stone from Aboriginal pre-settlement times to today. Enjoy a forest adventure with a group of like-minded enthusiasts. Bush morning tea included.
