Lake Barrine
We continue to the tranquil waters of Lake Barrine, a 12,000-year-old volcanic crater lake formed by explosive geological forces and held within the Dulguburra-Yidinji Clan lands.
By the lakeside you will hear the Yidinji creation story that explains the lake’s origins and its cultural importance. We then stroll to the towering Twin Kauri Pines, where conversations turn to the timber industry, colonial history and the lasting impacts on Yidinji families and land management practices.
Your tour will end here, leaving you with a greater understanding of the Aboriginal history and culture of the region, and the enduring connection that Yidinji people have with their traditional homelands.
