The proposition

The landscape sets the pace

Wylde Systems is a privately hosted movement through Lake David, shaped by the conditions of the place rather than a rigid activity schedule.

The experience moves between lake edge, riparian margins, open pasture and forest. Scent, texture, water, weather and seasonal botanicals bring the setting into closer view without reducing it to a lecture, a workshop or a checklist.

Trolley’d curates the pace, facilitation and hospitality so the group remains small, the landscape remains present and every part of the experience feels connected.

The guest sequence

Five measured movements

The structure is deliberate, but the landscape determines how each visit unfolds.

  1. 01

    Arrival

    The group is received privately and given time to settle before movement begins.

  2. 02

    Movement through place

    The route shifts through open ground, vegetation, water and changing weather.

  3. 03

    Sensory recognition

    Scent, texture, temperature and season sharpen attention to the systems already present.

  4. 04

    Cultural programming

    Where specifically commissioned, a separate component may be developed and led by Yanaga Murru under agreed authority, scope and permissions.

  5. 05

    Return through hospitality

    A seasonal botanical cocktail, mocktail or NoLo drink closes the experience with precision and restraint.

The setting

Lake David within the wider Yarranga landscape

Wylde Systems takes place at Lake David, beside Lake Yarrunga in Kangaroo Valley.

The setting moves between lake edge, riparian margins, open pasture, forest and escarpment. Private access and low guest numbers allow the landscape to remain active rather than decorative.

Kangaroo Valley is approximately two hours from Sydney and Canberra, close enough for a considered private program and distant enough to change the pace.

Culture, Country and authority

Cultural authority remains with Yanaga Murru

Wylde Systems does not package, own or interpret Indigenous cultural knowledge. Where a private brief requests cultural programming, that component is separately discussed, commissioned and led by Yanaga Murru under its own cultural authority.

The final form depends on consultation, agreed scope, permissions, practitioner availability and appropriate payment. No ceremony, performance, cultural interpretation or specific practice is represented as an automatic inclusion.

Trolley’d’s role is to coordinate the broader guest journey and protect the conditions in which commissioned work can be delivered properly.

Botanical hospitality

Season and place, composed in the glass

The closing drink is a final act of hospitality, not a cocktail class attached to a walk.

Trolley’d designs each cocktail, mocktail or NoLo drink around the season, the group and the wider format. Australian botanical ingredients, responsible sourcing relationships and minimal-intervention produce are used where appropriate and available.

Non-alcoholic options receive the same attention to aroma, structure, temperature and presentation as alcoholic drinks.

The service carries Trolley’d’s aviation-influenced discipline through preparation, timing and guest care while the landscape remains the principal experience.

Private formats

Private experiences are individually scoped. Guest numbers, timing, food, transport, property use and any requested cultural programming are confirmed before a proposal is issued.

Before enquiring

Practical questions, answered clearly

Where does Wylde Systems take place?

Wylde Systems takes place at Lake David, within the wider Yarranga property context beside Lake Yarrunga in Kangaroo Valley, New South Wales. Exact access details are provided after a private booking is confirmed.

Is the experience private?

Private bookings are the principal format. The timing, facilitation and hospitality are scoped for one group. Occasional seasonal releases may be offered separately.

How many guests can attend?

Guest numbers are intentionally limited and confirmed against the brief, route, weather, facilitation and property conditions. The objective is to protect privacy and attention, not maximise capacity.

Are non-alcoholic drinks available?

Yes. Botanical mocktails and NoLo drinks are designed with the same attention as cocktails. Alcohol is optional and does not determine the quality of the experience.

Can food, transport or accommodation be arranged?

Private meals, transport coordination and accommodation coordination may be included where suitable providers and availability are confirmed. Accommodation is not an automatic inclusion.

Are cultural experiences included?

No cultural component is assumed. Where requested, cultural programming is separately developed, commissioned and led by Yanaga Murru. Scope, permissions, availability and payment must be agreed before inclusion.

A Wylde Systems extension

The Crossing

A private golden-hour journey from Lake David onto Lake Yarrunga, guided by water, wildlife and the changing character of the valley.

The Crossing is available as an extension to selected Wylde Systems experiences for private groups, executive teams and destination partners seeking a slower, more immersive encounter with Kangaroo Valley.

The experience

The valley, viewed from the water

The Crossing shifts the guest experience from land to water without turning the lake into another scheduled activity.

Guided canoeing is coordinated with Optimum Experiences and shaped around the conditions of the day. The pace is deliberate, allowing the group to move through shoreline ecology, open water, wildlife and changing valley light before returning to Trolley’d’s wider hospitality program.

Trolley’d curates the complete guest journey and botanical hospitality. Optimum Experiences leads the canoe component. Where cultural programming is requested, any yidaki or related cultural element must be separately discussed, commissioned and led under Yanaga Murru’s authority. No cultural component is assumed.

Setting

Lake Yarrunga, departing from the private Lake David shoreline in Kangaroo Valley.

Format

A privately guided canoe journey, subject to weather, water conditions and availability.

Best suited to

Executive retreats, premium private groups and considered destination programs.

Culture and authority

Cultural programming remains separate

The canoe journey can be commissioned without cultural programming. Where a private brief requests cultural content, that component is developed separately with Yanaga Murru and remains subject to cultural authority, agreed scope, permissions, practitioner availability and appropriate payment.
