Canoes Cool Climate Wines and Canapés
2025-09-14 10:30 - 12:30 | Valley Outdoors, 2 Jenanter Drive, Kangaroo Valley, NSW, 2577, Australia
There are some places in the wilderness where nature over delivers and gliding downstream on the Kangaroo River from Beehive Point to the mouth of Yarrunga Creek with the backdrop of the Morton National Park in Kangaroo Valley, is one such place. It’s the MUST DO wildlife experience in NSW with its eerily beautiful backdrop of a convict-built sandstone road, winding uphill and linking the rainforest with our colonial past. Home to the majestic azure kingfisher, wedge-tail eagle, diamond python, rock wallaby, white-breasted sea eagle, water dragon and more, this is nature at its best, untouched and wild. On the drive down through the rainforest it is usual to see kangaroos, wombats and echidnas.

So, take a seat in one of our custom-built double-canoe rigs and immerse your senses in the sheer beauty of this stunning waterway. Indulge your taste buds with fresh canapés and a local award-winning cool climate wine and discover what is unapologetically heaven.
New Summer 2024 dates coming soon. We run two sessions per day – 11.30am arrival for briefing with noon departure and 2.30pm arrival with briefing for a 3pm departure. You are on the water for about 2 hours. Cost is $225 Per Person.
Private bookings on other dates available on request and are very popular either in Kangaroo Valley or Berrima.
Maps are provided via email one week before your experience where we check in on dietary requirements and beverage choices. Its best to allow 20 mins from Kangaroo Valley village to drive through Morton National Park to where we enter the water.

Gadhungal Marring - Native Bush Foods Planting Day
2025-09-14 10:00 - 14:00 | Wildwood, 407D Bendeela Rd, Kangaroo Valley, NSW, 2577, Australia
Wildwood Kangaroo Valley invites you to a special hands-on workshop with Gadhungal Marring.

This workshop is perfect for anyone interested in growing edible native plants — whether you’re looking to create a thriving native garden, add to your homegrown produce, or simply deepen your connection to the land.

Together, we’ll be planting out Wildwood’s Creek Walk — with a collection of edible native trees and plants selected for their suitability to our sandy soils and their potential to be used in creative food and drink for our weddings and events. Our vision is our guests will be able to forage this walk in the future – like guests at your house could forage in the future too 🙂

Learn about and plant a diverse range of native edibles, including:

Native Thyme (Prostanthera)

Warrigal Greens (Tetragonia tetragonioides)

Native Basil (Ocimum tenuiflorum)

Midyim Berry (Austromyrtus dulcis)

Lemon Myrtle (Backhousia citriodora)

Cinnamon Myrtle (Backhousia myrtifolia)

Finger Limes (Citrus australasica)

River Mint (Mentha australis)

Old Man Saltbush (Atriplex nummularia)

Native Pepperberry (Tasmannia lanceolata)

Native Violet (Viola hederacea)

Illawarra Plum (Podocarpus elatus)

Davidson’s Plum (Davidsonia pruriens)

This workshop will cover:

Choosing the right native plants for your garden

How to care for and harvest from edible natives

Traditional uses and cultural significance of the plants
After the demonstration, participants will join in planting out the garden. The day will finish with a delicious picnic lunch made with local bush foods.
Your ticket includes:

Guided workshop and demonstration with Gadhungal Marring

Hands-on planting experience

Picnic lunch in a stunning natural setting
Whether you’re a seasoned gardener or just starting out, this workshop offers a unique opportunity to learn from experts and take home the knowledge you need to start growing native foods in your own backyard. Gadhungal Marring is 100% Aboriginal-owned social enterprise dedicated to sharing knowledge of native plants, bush foods, and cultural connection to Country. We have a really wonderful relationship with them and know that this workshop is going to be delivered with a lot of care and planning given the amount of visits and meetings we have all had to get it right.
