About this tour
Spend 90 minutes in one of South Australia's last intact grassy she-oak woodlands at Yarnbala, a foraging and cultural experience built entirely from recycled materials off the grid. Hunt for native bush tucker, learn traditional plant knowledge, test your hand at water divining, and finish with live didgeridoo and lap-steel guitar whilst sipping gin infused with botanicals you've gathered. Designed for families and all abilities.

What to expect
You'll begin at Yarnbala's meeting hub, a striking structure cobbled together from salvaged materials, then head into the grassy woodland with a guide who knows which plants are edible and why they matter to the land. You'll taste what you find—real flavours, not descriptions. The water divining comes next, a hands-on bit of folk practice that works or doesn't. Back at base, settle in for music: didgeridoo woven with lap-steel guitar creates an odd, effective pairing. The gin served features botanicals from your own forage walk, which ties the whole thing together. It's interactive without feeling forced.
Good to know
Private transport is included. Alcoholic drinks aren't part of the experience (though gin is offered separately). The site is wheelchair accessible and pram-friendly. Ninety minutes covers foraging, divining, and performance—unhurried but not leisurely. No smoking on site.
