Happy NAIDOC WEEK! Becky here. This week we celebrate the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. As a tour guide I feel a huge responsibility to ensure Aboriginal stories and achievements are part of my storytelling all year round, and I aim to share information in a respectful and appropriate way. Our tours take part in Awabakal land and it is important to acknowledge, understand and respect the people who have had a continuing connection with the land for thousands of years. One modern story I particularly love is that of @miromaaaltc, who I take guests to meet on my #localexperiences bike tours. This team is doing amazing things to document and preserve languages in Australia and the world. So much so that they won the National Community Organisation of the year at the National Dreamtime Awards in 2017! (see pic above). I particularly want to say thanks to Terri-Lee Darcy, Daryn McKenny and @culturedcoffeenewcastle for welcoming @newcastleafoot into their awesome space and just having a good talk. The #naidoc2018 theme this year is BECAUSE OF HER, WE CAN - I think Miromaa is leading the way here, looking at how many women are connected to the team! 🖤💛❤️ #aboriginallanguage #ourlanguagesmatter . . . . . . . . #miromaa #awabakal #aboriginalstories #newcastleafoot #history #heritage #walkingtour #ilovenewcastle #visitnewcastle #visitnsw #newy #newcastle #newcastlensw #localguide #newcastleaustralia #mynewcastle #visitnewcastle_aus #travel #travelaustralia #travelnsw #newy #localexperience

I don’t think a guide could ask for a better review! Thanks @hcinstagram: “Newcastle Afoot brought Norman and I an enriching walk through the places and stories of Newcastle as we ATE and DRANK fantastic calamari, rocket and pear salad, arancini balls, wings, sliders and asparagus.. The Martini and Gin Shiraz I had were perfect! Coulda been a foodie tour. . As we walked to each bar we learned about the passionate small shop owners and evolving working spaces of artists and start ups including the support of organisations like Renew Newcastle and the Business Improvement Council. We checked out an art exhibition in an old prison too 💕 Felt like one of those cultured nights out in Melbourne that reminds you of the goodness of people and the assurance that creative progress surrounds us. . I reckon ppl should go to Newcastle just to do it.” - so great to meet you Helena!
Eat & Drink Newcastle History Walk! Starting at gorgeous & historic Customs House.
A bit of local scenery... 📷 from @daviddiehmphotography and his wife Kathryn who took this amazing photo! - Spotted any whales this weekend? A few breeches just off Newcastle Beach this morning. A great morning out with @novacruises . Full credit to my wife, Kathryn who captured this image, while I watched from shore with our girls. Kath often sacrifices time with the camera so I can pursue "the shot". So proud of her capturing the moment here. A few more to come as well🐋🐳🙌 😘 #whales #humpbackwhale #migration #novacruises #whale #whalewhatching #ocean #newcastlensw #visitnewcastle #mynewcastle #newcastlebeach #newcastleoceanbaths #wildlife #wildlifephotography #ig_naturelovers #ig_shots #australiagram #seeaustralia #earthcapture #sealife #oceanlife
Cheryl rates the coffee on the #seascapestolaneways walk! ☕️ It’s not too bitter. And she’s from Melbourne so she knows what she’s talking about.
