We’re currently in the beautiful Undara National Park, which is the lands of the Ewamian (pronounced ‘Oo-wamin’) people. The Ewamian people have lived on this land for tens of thousands of years, and utilised the lava tubes for many parts…
We’re on the lands of the Yirandali people tonight, in the area they knew as Mokana (what is now known as Hughenden). We’d also like to acknowledge the Wunumara people, whose land we travelled through today as we headed east…
