🌿 Celebrating Our Cultural Guides at Ikara-Wilpena 🌿
We are incredibly proud of the amazing progress our Cultural Guides—Dickson, Donald, and Shaunaya—are making on their journey 🌟
Dickson and Donald have recently stepped up to lead their own tours and have received some fantastic feedback, which was kindly shared with us by Wadna—an awesome achievement! 👏
Dickson has now also successfully delivered a tour on his own, and Shaunaya is preparing to take her very first solo tour in the coming weeks—so exciting!
Dickson and Shaunaya are also working together to deliver our Welcome to Country experience, continuing to grow in confidence, cultural knowledge, and storytelling every day.
A huge thank you to the incredible Adnyamathanha guide Iteka, who has been spending time with us here at Ikara Wilpena. Iteka has taken time away from her family business, Bookabee Australia, to support and mentor our guides—helping to share culture with both our team and our guests. We are so grateful for your generosity and knowledge 🙏
Another big thank you to Kristian, Gabby, and Izzy from Wadna, who have also been providing ongoing training and support. Along with myself, we all feel extremely privileged to listen, learn, and be part of this journey.
Planning is also well underway for NAIDOC Week, and we’re excited to bring it to life here at beautiful Ikara Wilpena—celebrating and sharing Adnyamathanha culture with our community and visitors.
Stay tuned for updates on events and opening celebrations coming soon! 🎉
