Enjoy a Sunset Cruise like no other. As the sun begins to get low over the Great Diving Range to the west of Cairns, meet your Mandigalbay Yidjinji guide and push off from Cairns Marina in your new, covered River Cruise vessel, bound for wetlands and mangrove forests of East Trinity Reserve. Discover an indigenous Protected Area where ancient knowledge meets latest science to deliver world-first conservation programs. Cruise along an avenue of ancient mangrove forests. Upon arrival at the Stingray Shelter, enjoy the ancient Mandigalbay custom of a Welcoming to Country. The welcome can also be the use of "murga" a traditional ochre paint found on Country to make a symbol of welcome on the face. Women paint women and men paint men. Listen to your Mandigalbay Yidinji guides speak of ancient language, practices and traditional implements that are still made and used. Light canapes, and cold non-alcoholic beverages will be served throughout the evening by your team. After the event, cruise quietly through the beautiful mangrove lined waterways back into Cairns Harbour, revealing the beauty of the city lights from the water.~~~~ |
