Connect & Support

In Blue Mountains, supporting local culture and economy means respecting the living culture of the Dharug and Gundungurra indigenous people while promoting the development of regional creativity and sustainable industries.

Tourists are encouraged to participate in indigenous guided tours, craft markets, family-run cafes and eco-lodges. Every local consumption, learning from community guides or participating in cultural activities, is a safeguarding of traditional knowledge, support for small businesses, and a practical step towards building a sense of belonging in this mountainous area.

The learning and volunteer activities in Blue Mountain offer tourists a way to establish a deep connection with the land and the community. By participating in guided tour workshops, ecological conservation projects, and indigenous culture courses, participants can learn about the local ecology, sustainable concepts, and traditional knowledge.

Volunteer opportunities include vegetation restoration, wildlife monitoring, and cultural heritage protection. These experiences not only help preserve the world heritage landscape but also promote community cooperation. These experiences encourage tourists to become guardians of the land, continuing the life story of this mountain range through understanding and respect.
