Carved thousands of years ago into the landscape of the Vaucluse Estate are a range of ceremonial engravings depicting the southern migration of whales. These engravings not only tell a unique story about Aboriginal connections to Country but in recent times a story of cultural change as colonial occupation isolated these ceremonial places from Gadigal.
WHALE FESTIVAL
The annual Whale Festival encourages you to participate in a journey fostering relationships between Gadigal and Sydney Living Museums to preserve, interpret and share this heritage.
The annual migration of Gawura, the Eora word for whale, signifies revitalisation and the birth of a new generation as
the whales return to Guru, the deep waters of the southern seas. As part of the Sydney Living Museum’s Aboriginal Cultural Calendar, the Whale Festival hopes to reconnect country and people and reveal the enduring Aboriginal narratives of the Vaucluse Estate.
