History and First Nations stories
“Walking together”, in Dhurga.
More than a decade in the making, the trail was named by Walbunja Elders, who chose a Dhurga word meaning walking together, let’s go, shared by custodian Aunty Loretta Parsley. It was built by Eurobodalla Council in close collaboration with the Walbunja People, and its layered interpretation, public art, language and digital storytelling on Country, won the Interpretation Award at the 2026 National Trust Heritage Awards.
National registration carries that partnership to every Australian as the standard for how a trail’s story should be told, by its custodians, on the ground where it happened.
Stories connected to Country are told only with, and as guided by, their custodians, under the First Nations custodianship protocols at the centre of the register’s governance.
