Discover the profound history and living culture of the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung people at Bundoora Park, a site of great significance featuring scar trees, quarries, wetlands, and traditional foraging grounds.
Visitors will engage with the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung Truth Telling Project, which brings the Indigenous story to life through a dedicated display and a striking mural. The truth-telling display at Bundoora Homestead Arts Centre offers a deep dive into the area's Indigenous past alongside its more recent history as a family home and repatriation hospital.
The mural, unveiled in August 2025, continues this narrative, celebrating the ongoing connection of the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung people to their Country. This experience is both educational and moving, ideal for families wanting to enrich their understanding of local Aboriginal culture.
