The Gay’wu women’s tour provides female visitors with the opportunity to come together with their Yolŋu sisterhood and learn about their culture, history and country. The Gay’wu (dilly bag) is a powerful and important cultural symbol in Arnhem Land, where it was first created thousands of years ago. You will learn about and experience Yolŋu philosophy and kinship, weaving, jewellery making, painting, astrology, healing ceremony, crying ceremony, (Nathi), cooking and bush medicine, dancing, gathering oysters or mud crabs and much more. Activities will vary according to the season and availability of materials. The Yolŋu often say the land is their mother. It nurtures, heals and guides their lives. This is why the female visitor experience and connection to Yolŋu people is often so profound, and time spent with the Yolŋu women is often described “life-changing”. Includes transport, Yolngu guide, activities, all meals and accommodation.

Women’s Tour at Bawaka. An amazing country to unwind, relax & reflect. Being away from phone/email/internet and taking the day (& activities) as they come without feeling the need to rush is a good reason to go. We were very well looked after by our guide Rachael, the traditional owner of the land Timmy, our cultural guides Noella, Rowena, Brenda, Roberta & Latuya. And of course Howard, Jacki & Gary, cooks/bush mechanics/fishermen/pig hunters/musicians/.... As a guest, it is important to be flexible, to go open minded without specific expectations. You will be staying “in the bush” and unexpected things can happen that are just part of the experience. Try to immerse yourself and feel welcome in country and culture. Thanks Lirrwi team!
