Day 4- 22nd July
Why do you think that the track is important to the locals?
Luke’s answer: I think that the track is important to the locals because it is not just a bout the track from place to place but about the cultural and historical significance that cane with it. It was where the traditional owners of the land were able to set up and start the homelands that have been existing for many years and still exist today.

Why do you think it’s important to preserve the culture and spirituality of the homeland?
The cultural identity and spirituality of first nations people has been cast aside and has not been recognised in the past. However promoting tourism and travel in homelands and communities gives the first nations people a sense of self representation and cultural identity. So much has been ‘stolen’ from the first nations people including their homes, their culture, their families and their freedom, but the first nations people were extremely resilient and fought for their rights, to reclaim their land and express their culture.

We woke up early at 6am to pack up the campsite and get ready to go to Buru. We farewelled the Bana locals and set off to the starting point of the Trek. We were going to walk 12km over 4-6 hours. It was a tough walk and everyone worked as a team to push each other through it. We walked through the bush and saw a lot of scenery and had our lunch stop by a river. We arrived at the Buru homeland after a tiring walk and we straight away went for a swim. We then came back to the campsite and met one of the elders named CJ. He blessed us with a smoking ceremony and told us a few stories. After that we set up the campsite and ate dinner around the fire while having some laughs. We finished off the night with a reflection on the big day we had.
