First Peoples
Walking on Wurundjeri Country — the city before, beneath and beyond.
Melbourne sits on the unceded land of the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung people of the Kulin Nation. This walk acknowledges Birrarung (the river misnamed the Yarra), the scar trees and meeting places still present in the CBD, and the sites where colonial Melbourne was built directly over older, ongoing First Peoples life.
This is a starter walk drawing on publicly available sources. We've worked hard to be accurate and respectful, and we welcome correction and contribution from Wurundjeri and other First Peoples voices.
Narration, anchors, accessibility and refreshments are pre-set from the editorial defaults — tap to change.
If you are a Wurundjeri or other First Peoples community member and would like to correct, expand or replace any of the content in this walk, please get in touch. This collection is intended as a respectful starting point, not a final word.
