: Wild Bush Luxury, well-known for offering exclusive, inspirational and quintessentially Australian experiences that reconnect guests with the land, is excited to announce Arkaba Through Adnamatna Eyes – a new experience that takes guests on a rich and insightful journey through Arkaba in South Australia’s Flinders Ranges.The new, guided experience is told through the eyes of the Adnamatna people of South Australia – one of the world’s oldest living cultures – offering guests a richer connection and appreciation of the aweinspiring wilderness that surrounds them. A truly ancient landscape and a place where the first signs of life on earth were discovered.

With a history dating back tens of thousands of years, the Adnamatna culture is rich with spirituality and wonder.

They have long looked after the landscape and wildlife of South Australia’s Ikara-Flinders Ranges and their deep connection to the land is showcased during the guided experience through their captivating rituals and stories.

Arkaba Through Adnamatna Eyes guide, Pauline McKenzie, is a living library of the ancient Adnamatna lifestyle.

Born in Hawker, she spent much of her childhood on country just north of Arkaba and has a connection with the land that emanates from long before any European explorers or settlers appeared.

Pauline is one of just a few people who still speaks the Adnamatna language fluently. She spends a large portion of her time teaching cultural stories and language (Yura Muda) and is committed to passing on the Adnamatna stories and culture. Her stories of the land and her personal story growing up as a person in ‘white’ Australia, provide a glimpse into Australia’s Aboriginal history and the issues that confront Aboriginal society today.

Wild Bush Luxury founder and owner, Charles Carlow, said, “A walk with Pauline provides guests an opportunity to connect with the stories of Adnamatna people, and a unique chance to see this part of Australia through their eyes as well as through their soul. Pauline is an incredible source of information and history. She uncovers a side of Australia that our guests would not have otherwise seen. A side that is thousands of years old and has thousands of stories to tell.”
