Length: 1.45 - 2.00 hrs

This unique walk gives participants a sense of a small, but significant portion of the ancestral lands of the Kulin people. Walkin’ Birrarung is a journey back through time exploring the dramatic and irrevocable changes of both the people and the place. A multiple sensory experience that evokes the memories of a vibrant natural, and cultural landscape.

A memory that now lies beneath our urban existence today.

The tour begins at Enterprize Park where you will follow the river upstream, stopping to discover the significance of sites and landmarks to the Kulin people and the colonial settlement of Melbourne. The tour concludes at Princes Bridge and Federation Square. A short walk, further on into Birrarung Marr and the new ‘Common Ground’ Aboriginal public art space is an optional but very worthwhile addition to the experience.
