Worn Gundidj @ Tower Hill

Step into one of the Great Ocean Road’s best kept secrets with Worn Gundidj Aboriginal Cooperative’s enriching cultural experiences at Tower Hill Wildlife Reserve.

Set within the crater of a dormant volcano, this extraordinary reserve is a thriving haven for native wildlife, including koalas, kangaroos, emus, echidnas and more than 160 bird species, all surrounded by a breathtaking natural amphitheatre.

But there’s more than meets the eye at Tower Hill. This remarkable landscape holds deep cultural significance, with evidence of Aboriginal occupation dating back over 30,000 years. On Worn Gundidj’s two-hour guided walking tours, you’ll explore the area’s rich natural and cultural history, guided by the stories and knowledge of the Gunditjmara people.

These immersive tours reveal how the Gunditjmara people have lived in harmony with the land for thousands of years, using native plants for food, medicine and tools. You’ll gain insight into traditional ecological knowledge, the area’s volcanic history and the Dreaming stories that continue to shape the landscape today.

Worn Gundidj’s experiences offer a powerful connection to Country, where every step through Tower Hill is a journey through time, guided by the enduring wisdom of its Traditional Custodians.
