Originally commissioned, produced and presented by the City of Clarence Arts and Events team for the Clarence Jazz Festival, mulaka milaythina premiered at the Clarence Jazz Festival in February 2023.
Covering content from the frontier wars right through to modern Tasmanian Aboriginal land rights campaigns, ‘mulaka milaythina’/the hunting ground is a tour that speaks to the rich hunting grounds that long characterised the landscape of the Eastern shore and explores the stories that connect generations of Tasmanian Aboriginal people to each other and the lands that they continue to care for here.
Nunami (owner/operator Blak Led Tours) and Sarah Hamilton (award winning Tasmanian playwright), who together developed takara nipaluna/walking Hobart, again joined forces to develop this new walking tour.
