The Birrarung Trial Floating Wetlands Walking Tour
About
City of Melbourne has installed floating wetlands in the Yarra River as a part of a trial supported by the Victorian Government. This is a significant milestone for the city-shaping Greenline Project. The lower stretch of the Yarra River Birrarung was once a rich ecosystem of riparian vegetation and seasonal wetlands, and the species diversity it supported made it an important place for the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung and the people of the broader Eastern Kulin nation.Tour Dates:

Join the Project team on every second Friday of each month to explore this unique river installation. Ecologists, researchers, and wetland specialists may co-host certain tours. You'll observe native plants and wildlife, including black swans, cormorants, darters, ducks, and gulls, resting on log bannisters surrounded by sedges.
This tour is suitable for all ages and abilities. We strive to make our events inclusive and accessible to everyone.
