Our story
Born in Tropical North Queensland, Ember Legacy Expeditions was founded to blend deep bushcraft with cultural humility. Our team believes the most meaningful adventures are slow, respectful, and rooted in place. We travel on Country with permission and care, prioritising local knowledge, safety, and genuine connection over speed and spectacle.
Acknowledgement of Country
We acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the lands and waters we travel across and pay our respects to Elders past and present. We are committed to walking gently and listening first.
