Sydney: Royal Botanic Garden Guided First Nations Tour

Explore the Royal Botanic Garden with a local guide and uncover First Nations Dreaming stories of creation, native plants, culture, and the deep connection between Country, nature, and spirituality.
Step into the spiritual heart of Sydney at the Royal Botanic Garden, where nature, culture, and thousands of years of Aboriginal history come together.

Led by a local guide, this storytelling walk begins at the Royal Botanic Garden Visitor Centre, continues through the Cadi Jam Ora – First Nations Garden, then to Mrs Macquarie's Point, and finishes beside the tranquil waters of Farm Cove.

Along the way, your local guide will share the rich Dreamtime stories of the Gadigal people, explain how native plants were used for food, medicine, tools, and ceremony, and reveal how the land around Sydney Harbour has been cared for by First Nations communities for tens of thousands of years.

Discover the meaning of Dreamtime—not simply as mythology, but as a living system of law, identity, ancestry, and connection to Country. Learn how stories, songlines, and the natural landscape continue to shape Aboriginal culture today.

More than a garden walk, this is a journey into Australia's oldest living culture through engaging storytelling, breathtaking harbour scenery, and a deeper understanding of the land beneath your feet.

Perfect for culture lovers, families, nature enthusiasts, and travelers seeking an authentic connection with Australia's Indigenous heritage.
