Birrarung Wilam (River Camp) Walk – Public Tour


  • Yarra Building, Federation Square Swanston and Flinders Streets Melbourne Vic 3000 Australia (map)

Join us for the Birrarung Wilam (River Camp) Walk, open to everyone. The walk starts at 1.00 pm and takes you through Federation Square and down to the Birrarung Wilam (River Camp) Aboriginal art installations. During the walk, you will learn about the Aboriginal history of the Birrarung Marr (Beside the river of mists) and the Aboriginal Peoples of the Kulin Nation, guided by one of our experienced Cultural Experiences Guides.

They will explain how the land on which Melbourne stands has changed over time and the significance of the Birrarung Wilam to the local Kulin peoples. This will deepen your understanding of this incredible location, which is an important gathering place for the Kulin Nation and one of Melbourne’s most popular meeting hubs today.

Tickets are also available on the day from our reception/retail desk on the ground floor of the Yarra Building, but availability may be limited.

Presented by the Koorie Heritage Trust.

When: 1pm every weekday (except public holidays)

Where: Meet at the Yarra Building, Federation Square, Melbourne Victoria
