As we gather on Woi Wurrung Country to learn, discover, and share we are never far from the past.
Walking through the Student Precinct at Parkville we can trace the path of the Bouverie Creek in the pavement. Underneath us the water still flows, carrying within it the ancestral memory of this place. Eels continue use this waterway, as they have for tens of thousands of years. Like the Eel, Country adapts and responds, and although much of the campus and surrounds have been built upon and altered it remains Country everlasting.
