Today our Councillors, executives and staff members walked from the Civic Centre to the Djerring Flemington Hub to pay homage to Michael Long’s historic trek from Melbourne to Canberra in 2004. Upon arrival at Djerring Hub, Uncle Perry Wandin performed a Welcome to Country and Smoking Ceremony and we heard from Leanne Brooke, Executive General Manager – The Long Walk and Indigenous Affairs. Afterwards, the Essendon Football Club held a mini Marngrook lesson for staff to get involved in. Thank you to Game Time Coffee and Jarrah Catering for providing delightful refreshments.

Last week, we headed to Woodlands Historic Park along with 14 partnering organisations to recommit to the Chain of Ponds Collaboration. This long-term project aims to restore Moonee Ponds Creek into the vibrant, iconic natural waterway for the community to enjoy. Fun fact - the creek's traditional name was is Wilami Wunmabil – meaning ‘home of the Bustard’ (bush turkey). This name was officially unveiled at the event and signifies the strong ties the collaboration has with First Peoples, and the meaningful steps towards truth-telling, cultural recognition, and Reconciliation. With the support of our Traditional Owners, fellow local governments, community groups, and more, we aim to revive the cultural and environmental elements of this space for future generations to enjoy.
