Larmairremener tabelti
At Cynthia Bay, this Aboriginal culture walk winds through the traditional lands of the Larmairremener, the Indigenous people of the region. The walk (one hour return) starts at the visitor information centre. Another way to do some walking here is to catch the ferry service to either Echo Point Hut or Narcissus Hut and walk back to Cynthia Bay along the lakeshore. From Echo Point it's four to five hours' walk back; from Narcissus five to six hours.
