Aboriginal tour for Spikefest

An aboriginal heritage tour near Daley's Point has been organised to coincide with Spikefest.

Participants will experience an aboriginal welcome ceremony and story telling by an aboriginal guide.

Two tours each day will be conducted on Saturday October 23, Monday October 25, and Friday October 29, weather permitting.

Participants can expect to see an aboriginal midden, charcoal drawings and rock carvings, aboriginal bush ovens, bush foods and medicines and breathtaking views of Brisbane Water and the coastline.

The tour will be run by Earth Light, a non profit organisation in partnership with the Anglican parish of Gosford, and will be sponsored by Gosford Council.

Participants will meet at Daley's Point recreation reserve.

Tours cost $30 per person and run from 10am until noon and from 2pm until 4pm.

People are advised to wear shoes and clothes suitable for walking as this tour involves a 600 metre uphill walk over moderately difficult terrain.
