Hotham Alpine Resort recently opened the Bunderool Carpet and welcomed senior Gunai elder Sandra Patten for a special "Welcome to Country" and "Smoking Ceremony," to mark the occasion. This is the first lift infrastructure named with guidance from the Gunaikurnai Land and Waters Aboriginal Corporation, strengthening the connection between our resort community and the land, while honoring the Indigenous custodianship of the area. Bunderool means hill covered by snow. As said by Sandra, “I’m very privileged and am mesmerized by the mountains, I feel home. As the smoke drifts over the area, it will keep it safe and welcome people to this land.” The Bunderool carpet is part of an ongoing commitment to improve the experience for beginners on the mountain and is a reflection of Hotham's ongoing commitment to our Be Inclusive core value - both with the naming of the carpet and welcoming beginners to the sport.
