DESCRIPTION
WOMINJEKA – WELCOME
Located in the cultural heart of Narrm (Melbourne) at Federation Square by the banks of the Yarra River, the Koorie Heritage Trust is a not-for-profit First Nations-owned and managed arts and cultural organisation, providing opportunities for our visitors to experience the rich living cultural heritage of Aboriginal Victoria through our galleries and collection exhibitions.
The Birrarung Wilam Aboriginal Walking Tour is available for tour groups and individuals. The walk takes you through the Koorie Heritage Trust, Federation Square and down to the Birrarung Wilam (Common Ground) Aboriginal art installations, experiencing the Aboriginal history of the Birrarung Marr (Beside the River of Mists) and Aboriginal Peoples of the Kulin Nation.
With one of our experienced Koorie guides, you will learn how the land on which Melbourne is located has changed over time and about the significance of the Birrarung Wilam to the local Kulin peoples. You will gain a deeper and more meaningful understanding of this incredible location; an important gathering place for the Kulin Nation and one of Melbourne’s most popular meeting hubs.
Private Tours and Extended Private Tours are available. Enquire via CONTACT US.
