CULTURAL HERITAGE TRAINING ON THE MID NORTH COAST

The Mid North Coast takes in the Country of several Aboriginal nations, including the Gumbaynggirr people around Coffs Harbour, the Dunghutti around Kempsey, the Birpai around Port Macquarie and the Biripi around Taree. Its coastline, rivers and rainforest hold dense cultural landscapes, and major infrastructure such as the Coffs Harbour Bypass shows how closely Aboriginal communities, heritage specialists and construction teams need to work together.

ECHAM Training brings nationally recognised cultural heritage, conservation, tourism and business training to the region. Online learning means students in Coffs Harbour, Port Macquarie, Taree and Grafton can train close to home, and because our trainers are archaeologists and heritage professionals, course content reflects real NSW site work.
