Wurundjeri Week 2024
Wurundjeri Week is a time to acknowledge and celebrate the Traditional Owners of greater Melbourne, including Moonee Valley.
The Wurundjeri People take their name from the Woi-wurrung language word wurun meaning the manna gum, which is found along Birrarung (Yarra River), and djeri, the grub found in or near the tree. Wurundjeri are the ‘Witchetty Group People’ and their Ancestors have lived on the land we now call Moonee Valley for millennia.
Welcome to Country and Smoking Ceremony
The Moonee Valley community is invited to join councillors and staff at a Welcome to Country and Smoking Ceremony.
When: Wednesday, 7 August, 10am
Where: Queens Park Sound Stage, Moonee Ponds
