The Hahndorf Story including a Traditional Custodians Perspective
Celebrate the wonders of this land Ivan Copley, Elder of the Peramangk and Kaurna people and me, Sharon Pippos, local resident and owner/operator of Hahndorf Walking Tours.
This experience is out on the property of Sir Hans Heysen ‘The Cedars’. Heysen purchased 60 hectares by 1938 to protect the magnificent gum trees on, and surrounding, his property. It is the best location close to Hahndorf to show the area in its most original state.
An authentic glimpse of the relationship between the traditional custodians and the gum trees, hunting and gathering and the laws of the Land.
On this property there are trees over 600 years old and Heysen was the first Australian painter to focus on eucalyptus trees in their true light and form usually painting trees on his own property. Tour duration 90-120 mins.
A demonstration of aboriginal artifacts will be provided at the conclusion of the tour.
