Event details

How to get here
If you're arriving by car, you can park along Yarra Boulevard close to the Chandler Highway bridge. Use the stairs or ramp to access the Main Yarra Trail.
Go along the trail below the Chandler Highway bridge. You'll pass a 60-metre long Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung mural. Follow the trail until you reach Chandler Reserve, across from Guide Dogs Victoria. Keep an eye out for the start of the Wurundjeri Trail, marked by a small dirt path that leads to the Birrarung River. This path is located beside a large grassy area. The first sign you’ll see on the Wurundjeri Trail is labelled 'Tanderujm – Welcome to Country'.
