The Kipli Takara Piyura Kitina-ta tour is an exclusive exploration offered on Aboriginal land at Piyura Kitina, also known as Risdon Cove. This land, abundant with natural produce, has been returned to Tasmanian Aboriginal ownership since 1995, rekindling the ancient bonds between the Palawa people and their homeland.

During this guided walk, you'll delve into the area's unique cultural and historical tapestry, listening to the stories of the past and present as told by the Aboriginal guides. The tour offers an unparalleled opportunity to witness first-hand how the Palawa people continue to enjoy their traditional foods and manage the land with respect for their culture.

One of the highlights of the tour is the chance to sample the native bush tucker that's currently in season. Taste the timeless palate of Piyura Kitina, savouring the earthy flavours of indigenous produce that have been a part of the Palawa diet for centuries.
