WAAMAN CULTURAL TOURS OF CASTLEMAINE

Embark on an enriching journey with Uncle Rick Nelson, a revered Jaara Elder, as he guides you through the heart of Jaara Country. Uncle Rick’s Elder-led cultural tours offer an authentic immersion into ancient traditions and practices.

Based in Castlemaine, Victoria, Uncle Rick’s Waaman Tours is dedicated to fostering understanding, respect, and connection to Aboriginal culture. Join Uncle Rick as we explore significant sites, share ancestral stories, and celebrate the vibrant living culture of Jaara people.

Experience the ancient ritual of smoke cleansing, known for its purifying and healing properties. Join Uncle Rick as he performs traditional Smoking Ceremonies to cleanse the spirit and connect with the land, fostering a sense of peace and renewal.

Castlemaine Fringe (Fringe) events are held on the lands of the Dja Dja Wurrung People, and we pay our respects to the traditional owners of the land, to the local elders and emerging leaders. We celebrate the rich cultural heritage of this country and acknowledge that their sovereignty was never ceded.

Fringe provides an important local platform for individuals and community groups within Mount Alexander Shire to showcase their work.

Fringe aims to provide a warm and welcoming space for our whole community to participate in our events and be represented in our programming. This includes representation and participation from First Nations, those with a disability, LGBTQI, culturally diverse and young people.

Affordability is often a barrier to participation in the arts. Fringe strives to keep our costs low, programs both ticketed and free events, and where ticket prices exist offers concession prices, accepts companion cards and provides opportunities to volunteer in exchange for entry to ticketed events.

Fringe would not be possible without the incredible talent of our local artists, performers, musicians, sound & audio techs, and Fringe strives to pay arts workers involved in Fringe activities.
