It’s happening!
From Monday 23rd to Friday 27th May we’re hosting the second Tour De Carmichael - a 5 day guided cycle tour on Wangan and Jagalingou Country.
Save the date and call up your mates!
This is another incredible opportunity to learn about Wangan and Jagalingou totems and culture, be part of the historic Waddananggu cultural ceremony and see with your own eyes what is threatened by Adani’s destructive mine.
This year we will be finishing the cycle tour at Waddananggu - the ongoing cultural ceremony which has been going for 191 days and has set an historical legal precedent under the Queensland human rights Act.
The tour is being led by my brother, Wangan and Jagalingou Cultural Custodian, Coedie McAvoy. He will share with you his story of resistance and the significance of Wangan and Jagalingou sacred sites such as the Belyando and Carmichael rivers, the sacred Doongmabulla Springs and more!
