Join us to explore the history and cultural significance of the majestic Cathedral Fig and Lake Barrine on the Atherton Tablelands on this 2-hour private tag-along tour. You meet your guide at the Cathedral Fig Tree carpark in Danbulla National Park where you will take a guided cultural walk through the rainforest to learn about the traditional rainforest Aboriginal lifestyles, and the role that fig trees play in cultural practices. Here you will also view a cultural display and presentation to learn about tools and weapons, foods, and traditional seasons. Getting back in your vehicle, you will follow your guide to Lake Barrine, just a 15-minute drive down the road. Gather by the lakeside where your guide will explain the creation story of the lake in Yidinji belief, and how the story is confirmed through scientific evidence. You will also take a short walk to view two ancient Kauri Pines and learn about the region's timber harvesting history, and its lasting impacts on the rainforest.

Lake Barrine

We continue to the tranquil waters of Lake Barrine, a 12,000-year-old volcanic crater lake formed by explosive geological forces and held within the Dulguburra-Yidinji Clan lands. By the lakeside you will hear the Yidinji creation story that explains the lake’s origins and its cultural importance. We then stroll to the towering Twin Kauri Pines, where conversations turn to the timber industry, colonial history and the lasting impacts on Yidinji families and land management practices. Your tour will end here, leaving you with a greater understanding of the Aboriginal history and culture of the region, and the enduring connection that Yidinji people have with their traditional homelands.

    This is the second time that I’ve taken this tour, and once again my experience with Allan and his team of Yadinji guides was incredible. A must do for anyone looking to have a back stage pass to the Tablelands through the lens of Yadinji people.
