Our story
Goondoi Rangers works on Country near Innisfail in North Queensland, about an hour south of Cairns. The Rangers who guide visitors are the same people who care for this Country day to day.
Rainforest walks, cultural camps, Sea Country trips and school programs all come out of that work. Groups join what is already happening, alongside the people whose knowledge it is.

Country and people
This is the Country of the Dyirribarra Bagirbarra People. It runs from rainforest and wetlands down to Sea Country, near Innisfail in North Queensland, about an hour south of Cairns.
Cultural knowledge of all three has been held and passed on here for tens of thousands of years. Every experience we run is led by Traditional Owners, on the Country that knowledge belongs to.
