The Koorie Heritage Trust, located in the cultural heart of Narrm (Melbourne) at Federation Square, offers unique and inspiring Aboriginal cultural experiences in Greater Melbourne, Victoria. As a not-for-profit, First Nations owned and managed arts and cultural organization, they provide opportunities for visitors to immerse themselves in the rich living cultural heritage of Aboriginal Victoria.
One of their most popular offerings is the Birrarung Wilam Aboriginal Walking Tour, a guided cultural tour that takes you through the Koorie Heritage Trust, Federation Square, and down to the Birrarung Wilam (Common Ground) Aboriginal art installations. This cultural landmarks tour allows you to experience the Aboriginal history of the Birrarung Marr (Beside the River of Mists) and the Aboriginal Peoples of the Kulin Nation, gaining a deeper understanding of the area''s significance to local Kulin peoples.
Led by experienced Koorie guides, this cultural exploration tour shares insights into how the land on which Melbourne is located has changed over time. The walk also highlights the importance of the Birrarung Wilam to the local Kulin peoples, providing a culturally immersive experience in one of Melbourne''s most popular meeting hubs and an important gathering place for the Kulin Nation.
In addition to the public Birrarung Wilam Aboriginal Walking Tour, private tours and extended private tours are available upon request. These customized experiences offer a more intimate look at the cultural heritage of Aboriginal Victoria, allowing visitors to fully engage in their cultural exploration and landmarks tour.
We Wander is proud to partner with the Koorie Heritage Trust, an organization dedicated to preserving and sharing Australia''s unique Aboriginal cultural heritage. By participating in their guided cultural tours, you''re not only supporting the Trust''s mission but also enjoying an enriching, educational, and inspiring cultural experience.
