Join a very meaningful and interesting walk, that asks you to connect deeply with the Greenline route and unlearn the dominant colonial narrative along the Birrarung. Better understand the ancestral flow of the Birrarung and the story of her ongoing colonial disruption, at the same time celebrating Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung culture and ecology.
“For thousands of years there was a rocky crossing place here, very similar to what we have at Dights Falls, which also had significance around gathering and ceremony and traveling and songlines”, Uncle Bill Nicholson.
