Abstract (in English)

The Budj Bim National Heritage Landscape, within the traditional country of Gunditjmara people is on Australia’s National Heritage List. Gunditjmara, the traditional owners, have a vision of restoring their country and welcoming guests onto their land. Having experienced conventional tourism, Gunditjmara have created an innovative, self-managed model using the concept of ‘guests on country’. Gunditjmara see tourism as a way to share their unique landscape, to offer deeper cultural encounters and sustain their own story. Building culturally-appropriate tourism partnerships is the next step.
