• Aboriginal Fish Traps Guided Tour

  

  The Brewarrina fish traps are estimated to be over 40,000 years old you've probably never heard of them. This elaborate network of rock weirs and pools stretches for around half a kilometre along the riverbed and was built by ancient tribes, to catch fish as they swam upstream. Experience a Dreamtime story told by Aboriginal elders and watch, look and listen at how the local Aboriginal children still catch their fish the traditional way. Engage with your local Aboriginal tour guide on the history behind the fish traps and the many tribes that survived by the river. Bring your camera, a hat and wear comfortable clothing and shoes. The tour is very personal, due to small numbers.
