About Me
Growing up in the Northern Flinders Ranges has instilled in me a deep connection to Adnyamathanha Yarta (country) and Muda (culture). As one of the only female Adnyamathanha cultural guides in the region, I bring a unique perspective to understanding our ancestral lands. My tours draw from personal knowledge and stories passed down through generations, offering visitors an authentic glimpse into one of the world's oldest living Muda—through my eyes.

Rehanna shares her culture and the traditions which have been passed down by her elders and it really shines through in the way she leads the tours. The way she honors the oral traditions of her people by passing down stories, teachings, and knowledge word of mouth is truly special—it’s not just about sharing facts, but about keeping the heart and soul of her culture alive.
Her passion for educating others and providing such an authentic, respectful experience is something rare and valuable. It was and is moving to witness her connection to the land, the art, and the wisdom of her ancestors. Being guided by someone who so deeply respects and embodies their cultural heritage is truly a unique and enriching experience.
