“McKenzie shares some of her traditional knowledge, everything from the fact that qaundong seed pods can be used to tan animal skins, to tales of how the robin redbreast got his red breast.”

Share quality time with your family on Arkaba’s 60,000 acres of private wildlife conservancy. This 3-night Just for Families walk includes two nights sleeping under the stars at Arkaba’s signature bush camps and a final night at Arkaba Homestead.
Designed for children over eight years old with two days of walking (3km & 14km) there’s no better way to take in the sights and sounds of the outback than by exploring on foot.
Children will learn how to track wildlife using their habits and behavioural cues, hear stories of early pioneers and discover the secrets of one of Australia’s oldest landscapes. Included is an immersive experience learning indigenous stories through the eyes of a local Adnyamathanha elder.
Take your Rex Regional Express flight departing Adelaide to Whyalla.
You’ll be met by your Arkaba field guide for a road transfer through the Flinders Ranges to Arkaba.
