Reconciliation walks – May 2019

In partnership with the Koorie Heritage Trust, our free public walks gave participants an opportunity to learn how the land on which Melbourne is located has changed over time, and to learn the significance of the Birrarung Wilam to the local Kulin peoples.

Led by experienced Aboriginal guides, participants discovered a unique perspective on the rich history of Melbourne’s CBD.
