Harley is a proud pakana man. His training journey began when he decided to embrace a leadership role with wukalina Walk and transition from a support guide to a lead guide.

During his training, Harley was enrolled in a Certificate III in Guiding at TasTAFE and employed at wukalina Walk.

Since completing his qualification, Harley has become an advocate for vocational education, encouraging young community members to explore the many training options available to them. Harley knows that being on country is important to Aboriginal people, and TasTAFE’s guiding course allows them to learn on country as well as in the classroom.

In his guiding work, Harley is passionate that guests leave the experience with accurate knowledge and a positive understanding of culture.

As part of the pakana kanaplila dance group, Harley is proud to dance for his community and educate non-Aboriginal people about his history and culture.
