Adungadoo Pathway, Roma

The Adungadoo Pathway provides a delightful 1.7km walk along Bungil Creek, past Shady’s Lagoon and through picturesque gardens and landscapes that include giant river gums.

​

Adungadoo was the Mandandanji name for Bungil Creek, and the Pathway was designed in consultation with Mandandanji artist Laurie Nilson. Beside the Andungadoo Pathway is a yarning circle and smoking pit, with a pathway leading into it in the form of a serpent. The yarning circle is surrounded by sandstone seats that have been carved with images of local animals, and has become a place where local Aboriginal people hold meetings and celebrations, including weddings.

It is also a peaceful place for the visitor to sit and contemplate the Aboriginal history of the surrounding landscape and nearby China Town.
