Partnering Wunan
APT's involvement with Wunan is a very important partnership for both APT and Wunan. Through our touring program, financial investment and network of wilderness lodges throughout the Kimberley we are able to assist Wunan in providing training, resources and employment opportunities to the local Indigenous people. An example of this is the construction, maintenance and operation of our wilderness lodges and camp. This support goes a long way to helping Wunan achieve their goals. By travelling on a Kimberley Wilderness Adventure you are directly assisting in the community development of the Kimberley's Indigenous population.
Mr Ian Trust - Chairman, Wunan FoundationIndigenous Partnership

Wunan was established in 1997 to drive long-term socio-economic change for Aboriginal people by providing real opportunities, investing in people's abilities, and by encouraging and rewarding aspiration and self-responsibility. Wunan is committed to providing solutions in education, training and employment as well as accommodation and housing, with a long-term goal of reducing the number of Indigenous Australians in the Kimberley region having to rely on welfare. Wunan believes if they can achieve these goals it will help change the perceptions of non-Indigenous people.

'Wunan' What's in a name?
'Wunan' refers to a traditional ritual of the Aboriginal people in the East Kimberley to describe an occasion where effective trade occurs. The meaning also encompasses caring and sharing.www.wunan.org.au

Exclusive Access
APT's relationship with Wunan has led to the construction of several permanent wilderness lodges. With permission from local Aboriginal elders, APT has exclusive access to the land on which our lodges and camp are established, meaning you enjoy an experience that is only available to APT passengers.Without our partnership with Wunan, we wouldn't have been able to establish our lodges in the great locations they are today. When available we organise for a local Aboriginal guide to join us on our walks to give you a greater insight into the region.
