Birrarung Wilam Walk – Public Walking Tour

Duration: 1 hour
Cost: $20 student/concession | $40 adult

Discover the heart of Melbourne’s rich Aboriginal heritage with the Birrarung Wilam (River Camp) Walk—an immersive cultural experience that welcomes visitors from near and far, everyday at 1pm.

Join us as we journey from Federation Square down to the stunning Birrarung Wilam Aboriginal art installations, guided by one of our knowledgeable Cultural Experiences Guides. Along the way, you’ll uncover the deep history of Birrarung Marr (meaning “Beside the river of mists”) and the ancient stories of the Aboriginal Peoples of the Kulin Nation. Hear how this land, where Melbourne now stands, has transformed over time, and why Birrarung Wilam holds such profound significance to the local Kulin peoples. Finally, begin your journey into the Koorie Heritage Trust with a hands-on, guided experience where you’ll have the opportunity to engage with Aboriginal tools and artifacts including tools, shields and possum-skin cloaks.

This experience offers a unique opportunity to connect with a sacred gathering place that remains one of Melbourne's most vibrant meeting points today.

Limited spots available! Be sure to secure your ticket in advance, or visit our reception desk at the Birrarung Building to grab one on the day (subject to availability).
