Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne: Aboriginal Heritage Walk

Womin djeka! Journey into the ancestral lands of the Koolin nation and explore their rich and thriving culture.

Discover with your Aboriginal guide traditional uses of plants for food, tools and medicine. Develop an understanding of, and respect for, the customs and heritage of the our First Nations people.

The Aboriginal Heritage Walk won an award for face-to-face interpretation and is also a Victorian Tourism Award winner.

A note for participants: At Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria we acknowledge the rich diversity of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, representing more than 250 language groups across Australia. We invite you to join this walk with an open heart and mind to deepen your understanding of First Peoples' heritage and living culture—especially in relation to the plants and landscapes of Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne.
