The experience

About this quest

An easy and pleasant walk using all the senses to learn a bit more about the history of this place and the people who have lived here since time immemorial and those who have come later, to explore and to colonize and about ourselves, here now walking and talking and sharing stories on Ngadjuri land the way it always was and always will be. 

Is this for you?

Who it's for

Travellers stopping in Hallett on a Barrier Highway or Burra and Clare trip, and curious locals, get a gentle 4.4 km walk past the Wildongoleechie Hotel, Hallett Cemetery and Hallett Hall, hearing stories of Ngadjuri Country and the settlers who came later. Skip it if you are short on time, want a live guide, or planned an after-dark walk; it runs a little over two hours.
