Zoos Victoria acknowledges and respects the Traditional Owners as the original custodians of the land and waters, their ability to care for Country, and deep spiritual connection to it. We honour Elders past and present whose knowledge and wisdom has ensured the continuation of culture and traditional practices.

Wurundjeri Culture

Open
Open daily 9am - 5pm

There is a rich history of Indigenous culture in this region, and you can see this reflected throughout the Sanctuary.

Wurundjeri Walk

Wurundjeri Walk celebrates the life of Indigenous Elder William Barak, a protector of his people and his culture. The walk takes visitors to sculpture and a Dreaming Place, and passes an ancient scar tree and bark canoe. Emotive soundscapes unfold as four generations of Elders reflect on their family stories and the spiritual heartland of Coranderrk Station.
