BRINDABELLA SAILING'S
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF COUNTRY
And partnership with Kool Tours offering "Authentic Tribal Experiences"
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF COUNTRY
Brindabella Sailing acknowledges the Kaurna, Peramangk, Narangga, and Nawu peoples as the traditional custodians of the land and sea of which we sail and explore.
In the spirit of reconciliation and respect, Brindabella Sailing acknowledges Traditional Custodians throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea, and community.
We pay our respect to Elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today and into the future.
PARTNERSHIP WITH KOOL TOURS
We have formed a partnership with Mark Koolmatrie of Kool Tours. Kool Tours give the opportunity to experience first-hand knowledge from women, men, youth, elders on such topics as the environment, discuss the protection our ancestors’ estates, rediscover the life of the Original peoples through tourism, learn a lost and forgotten language, our spiritual connection to Country and self and in general discuss with like-minded people our world. Many of our experiences now offer an option of an integrated Kool Tours guide whom will take guests on a journey of dreamtime through the waters and places we visit. KOOL TOURS are offered as an optional extra on most of our private charter, corporate and school programs.
