Taungurung Land and Waters Council (TLaWC) has launched three new cultural experiences, wawa Nagambie, wawa Euroa and wawa tabilk-tabilk on Taungurung Land, an hour north of Melbourne/Narrm.
Meaning ‘Hello Country’ in Taungurung language, wawa biik shines a light on Taungurung culture through storytelling and cultural practices on half-day experiences through Nagambie or Euroa. Experiences immerse visitors into the Taungurung story, spanning thousands of years to learn about cultural heritage, ceremony, the impacts of colonisation on Country and the next generation of Taungurung Culture.
Taungurung Country covers a large part of Central Victoria, Australia. It rises from the Victorian Alps from Mansfield to Mt Buller and through the high Alpine plains of Mt Buffalo where our Ancestors gathered for ceremony. It flows along waring (the Goulburn River) – the lifeblood of Country - and out to the lush floodplains of Lake Eildon, Alexandra and the wetlands of Nagambie. It stretches south into the dense green sclerophyll forests of Kinglake and Marysville and heads up into the dryer northern slopes of the Strathbogie’s and Euroa before heading west to the Heathcote region. Book your place to stay in Mt Bulla and accommodation in Mt Buffalo on Search and Stay. For more information, head to the wawa biik website
