In the Woi Wurrung language Yalinguth means ‘yesterday’ and echoes the sentiments of many Elders that “we need to go back, before we can go forwards”. “This is an INCREDIBLE immersive experience that everyone must live. The music, the sounds and everything became extremely real. I've really heard and felt the land. Five stars!” - Yalinguth app user reviewPlease Note:You do not need the app/headphones for this event but if you have time we would highly recommend arriving earlier for a wander and listen (with headphones and the app downloaded prior on wi-fi).
