takara limuna / Sheoak Walk
Getting There
Park at DeBomford Lane and walk across the bridge over Faggs Creek. Follow the edge of quiet Geilston Creek Road until you reach a map board sign for the Shag Bay Track. A well-graded gravel track follows the water before an intersection is reached with the takara limuna / Sheoak Walk.
This enlightening trail honors 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 comunity today.
Accessed via the Shag Bay Track in Bedlam Walls Reserve, takara limuna (pronounced tah-kara-lee-mu-nah) features a central firepit (for cultural use by Tasmanian Aboriginal community members), viewing platform and five interpretation panels written and researched by Aboriginal Cultural Practitioners Theresa Sainty and Zoe Rimmer. The trail is illustrated with artworks by Allan Mansell.
The name of the trail is taken from palawa kani and refers to the limuna (shoak tree) which are endemic to the Bedlam Walls Reserve. Embedded into each of the panels are QR codes which link to audio recordings in palawa kani so that track users can listen to the interpretation in a Tasmanian Aboriginal language.
