YARRIBA DREAMING (Walking Together)

Unearth your connection to nature and explore your own Dreaming on this

3-day personal journey at Mount Barney Lodge. Immerse yourself in the ancient landscapes

of the Scenic Rim – walking, sharing stories, learning traditional Indigenous ways of living,

and considering your own place in nature.

Yarriba means ‘walking’ and we will walk together.

A traditional smoking ceremony will welcome you to Country and put you at ease in this idyllic landscape.

A night walk will complete an insightful day.
