We are told by First Nations Knowledge holders that this 300+ year old Narrow Leafed Peppermint, Eucalyptus radiata by a waterhole on the Yambulla Creek, sits on the Songline from Mallacoota to Kosciusko.
The Old People would likely have camped by this waterhole when they were travelling from the coast to the mountains to collect Bogong Moths — a great fatty source of protein — in the Spring.
First Nations Knowledge Holders tell us of how the Old People manipulated young trees to become way-finders on the Songlines. It is unusual for this species to have 4 trunks and it is thought that this lovely old specimen may have been manually crafted to hold stories and guide visitors. The ’Vs’ of the trunks point to the four directions of the compass.
Taking actions that will benefit people over many generations requires a connection to Country. Aboriginal people, being on this Country for 65,000 odd years, embedded their knowledge for future generations to discover and use.
Feel at home in our secluded, architect-designed off-grid guest lodge. Surrounded by nothing but nature as far as the eye can see.
Cool and breezy inthe summer and cosy with wood-fired central heatingin the winter.
We acknowledge the First Nations Peoples as the first inhabitants and traditional custodians of the Yambulla valley and surrounding areas.
We recognise and value their continuing connection to the land and culture.
