Billibellary's Walk

Description

Take a walk through Billibellary’s Country.

Feel, know, imagine Melbourne’s six seasons as they are subtly reconstructed as the context for understanding place and belonging for the Wurundjeri people. Ponder the landscape that was both shaped by its custodians through the management and protection of important resources and the defining facet of daily life.

A cultural interpretation of the landscape that provides an experience of connection to country which Wurundjeri people continue to have, both physically and spiritually. Lying within the University of Melbourne’s built environment are the whispers and songs of the Wurundjeri people. As one of the clans of the Kulin Nation, the Wurundjeri people of the Woiwurrung language group walked the grounds upon which the University now stands for more than 40,000 years
