Welcome to the takara limuna (Sheoak Walk)
Accessed via the Shag Bay Track and set across 700 metres along the headland of Bedlam Walls, the takara limuna walking trail features a viewing platform, a central firepit and gathering circle, and five interpretation panels written and researched by Aboriginal Cultural Practitioners Theresa Sainty and Zoe Rimmer with translations and audio recordings in palawa kani.
The trail is illustrated with artworks by Allan Mansell and panels designed by Alex Miles.
The name of the trail is taken from palawa kani and refers to the limuna (sheoak tree) which are endemic to the Bedlam Walls Reserve.
This enlightening trail honours the stories, history and culture of the Mumirimina people, who have cared for Country since time immemorial, and pays homage to the continuing connection of the Tasmanian Aboriginal people to their Country, culture, and community today.
This project was made possible through collaborative funding between the Clarence City Council and the Tasmanian Government’s Election Funding Commitment Grants round.
