The Bataluk Cultural Trail extends from Sale in the east, through Stratford, Mitchell River National Park, Bairnsdale, Metung, Lake Tyers, Buchan and Orbost to Cape Conran in the west.

You are invited by the Koori people of East Gippsland to visit and discover the sites along the trail and to greater your understanding and appreciation of their history and culture.

It follows the trails and trading routes of pre-colonial days and focuses on elements of Koori history and culture, including Dreamtime stories, traditional lifestyles, the Den of Nargun, Legend Rock, Aboriginal Keeping Places, archaeological sites such as canoe trees and shell middens (some dating back 10 000 years), cultural centres of the region, and aspects of European invasion, colonial settlement and present-day existence.

Special Features
The Krowathunkooloong Keeping Place is the focal point of the Bataluk Cultural Trail in Bairnsdale. It focuses on the better understanding of the Gippsland Aboriginals culture and heritage. It provides a recognizable and central complex to be used to raise and sustain community awareness, understanding and pride about the Aboriginal culture and arts. This has meant that the Aboriginal community has been able to contribute to the tourism aspect of the Gippsland area. Guided tours and talks, displays, art and craft exhibitions, and cultural activities are available for groups.
