The Hahndorf Story Including a Traditional Custodians Perspective

Celebrate the wonders of this land with Ivan Copley, Elder of the Peramangk and Kaurna people and Sharon Pippos, local resident and owner/operator of Hahndorf Walking Tours. On arrival, you will be offered a cup of lemon myrtle tea. Please bring a keeper cup for your personal use. Ivan will provide a Welcome to Country and a background history of the Aboriginal people of this area. This will be followed by an overview of the relationship with the first European settlers in Hahndorf – one of the few good news stories. This experience is out on the property of Sir Hans Heysen ‘The Cedars’. It provides an authentic glimpse of the relationship between the traditional custodians and the gum trees, hunting and gathering and the laws of the Land. A demonstration of Aboriginal artifacts will be provided after the tour. Please note that the path is not formed and an incline at the beginning of the tour precludes anyone with a wheelchair, walker or mobility concerns. The tour does not include access to Heysen house or studio but entrance can be paid independently at the office to further your experience. You do have full-day access to the property itself. You may like to stay and have a picnic. The duration of the tour is approximately 90-120 mins. No refunds are provided.
