About this event

  • 1 hour

The walk starts at 12.00 pm and takes you through Federation Square and down to the Birrarung Wilam (River Camp) Aboriginal art installations. During the walk, you will learn about the Aboriginal history of the Birrarung Marr (Beside the river of mists) and the Aboriginal Peoples of the Kulin Nation, guided by one of their experienced Cultural Experiences Guides. They will explain how the land on which Melbourne stands has changed over time and the significance of the Birrarung Wilam to the local Kulin peoples. This will deepen your understanding of this incredible location, which is an important gathering place for the Kulin Nation and one of Melbourne’s most popular meeting hubs today.
