Experience a vibrant living Koorie culture through hip hop workshops, stunning exhibitions, Milarri Garden tours, family activities and more!

    "We walk this land everyday, near you, next to you, and yet we are not close. You do not know what we know, see what we see, feel what we feel. But, this can change. You can share our culture, hear our stories, know the joy in our hearts, the pride the strength. With a single word we can connect. 'Wominjeka', Welcome!"
