SHARING OUR STORIES

Family and sharing is central to Yinggarda culture.
Sharing stories and passing on knowledge generation after generation has kept our culture alive and strong for tens of thousands of years. Today, we are proud to share our ancient culture with people from all over the world. Our cultural protocols run deep and respect for cultural knowledge and sacred places requires that in some places, visitors are accompanied by a culturally appropriate guide.

OUR TOURS

Meet Your Yinggarda Guides

Rennee

OWNER/TOUR GUIDE

Working as a Cultural Guide at Gwoonwardu Mia - Gascoyne Aboriginal Heritage & Culture Centre, Renee recognised a demand from visitors for Yinggarda cultural tours ‘On Country’. Armed with a passion for culture and an extensive knowledge of local bush foods, Rennee turned a long held dream into a reality in 2020 when she started Worramulla Eco Tours.

Rennee is deeply committed to preserving Aboriginal languages. She continues to expand her knowledge of her Yinggarda language and actively works to ensure these languages are protected for future generations.

LOGISTICS/TOUR GUIDE

Marhleigh-J is Rennee’s daughter and plays a dual role, working as a tour guide and managing behind-the-scenes logistics. She ensures every tour runs smoothly and guests have an unforgettable experience. Her involvement also supports the intergenerational passing of cultural knowledge, helping keep Yinggarda traditions alive for future generations.

Specialising in bush medicine, she shares knowledge of native plants and their traditional uses. As a cultural minder, Hannah is deeply committed to learning and passing on her heritage, offering visitors an authentic experience rooted in generations of wisdom.

Kath

CULTURAL ADVISOR/LINGUIST

Kath is an Elder from the Yinggarda nation in the Gascoyne region, with deep Country connections to the Wooramel River area. She is a proud mother of seven, grandmother, and great-grandmother.

Kath has a lifelong passion for her culture and language. Through sharing her knowledge, she works to keep Yinggarda traditions alive. The Country where she walks is her link to her ancestors, those who walked before her and now rest in the Dreaming, leaving their stories for her to pass on. By sharing these stories, Kath helps others understand what it truly means to be Aboriginal and to be proud of that identity.

“You are an amazing woman Rennee, willing to  share your knowledge in a friendly, welcoming manner.
You should feel very proud of what you have achieved by changing perspectives and pre conceived ideas of
a large number of people in a very short time.”
