Welcome to the land of the Wurundjeri people.
The Wurundjeri People take their name from their Woiwurrung language word ‘wurun’ meaning the Manna Gum (Eucalyptus viminalis) which is common along ‘Birrarung’ (Yarra River), and ‘djeri‘, the grub which is found in or near the tree. Wurundjeri are the ‘Witchetty Grub People’ and our Ancestors have lived on this land for millennia.
Deadly Story will work with the Wurundjeri Community to develop this page. Until then, please refer to the contacts and resources below:
