View along a city lane lined on both sides by 19th century brick buildings of 3-4 storeys. A modern skyscraper looms above, its pale walls and blue-tinted windows contrasting with the reds, greys and browns of the laneway. At the end of the alley, a brick wall has been painted with a mural of the Eiffel Tower in dark pink or red on a light pink background. Photo by me.

Photo of the tarmac surface of Royal Parade in Narrm Melbourne. Painted in big white letters across the vehicle lane is the admonition: STOP FOR RAMS. Tram rails are visible in the next lane. Photo by me.

Looking east over a dry creek bed, with gum trees overhead. The pre dusk sky is mostly blue but there are a few cumulo-nimbus clouds over the hills.
Hope we get some rain.

Fortunate to attend a tour of Will-im-mee mooring (Mt William greenstone quarry near Lancefield). A hugely important site re pre-colonisation Indigenous trade. Rumoured that a single axe-head blank could be traded for 2 full length possum skin cloaks! Great educational experience! #Wurundjeri

A peaceful little creek flowing over some flat rocks with an old fallen tree lying across the water.
Took a grieving friend to Masons Falls at Kinglake this morning. Not sure nature actually helped much. Well, I guess it didn’t hurt. #KinglakeNationalPark #Wurundjeri #Taungurung

Spent a morning at the #Birrarung today on #Wurundjeri country with great #FirstNations guide Tully Gibbons. The river was up and the commentary was generous and extended with great warmth and kindness at the #AbbortsfordConvent -always think of those ripped from family at places like this.

Because we’re about to hit the date that many people call “the first day of spring”, here’s a reminder of the seasons that Indigenous people in this part of the country have determined over thousands of years of observation. #Wurundjeri

Looking out over the State Library lawns as evening draws in. In the background: multicoloured lights of shops, restaurants, bars. In the foreground, the stern profile of a sphinx-like creature at the base of a 19th century bronze street lamp. Photo by me.
Glorious evening in Naarm Melbourne: people everywhere, crisp weather, a talented busker nearby.

Lining the inside of a glass wall, Moroccan-style lanterns of stained glass hang from chains of different lengths, creating a multicoloured cascade of light. Behind, a small craft studio is visible: a wall of neatly organised storage, tables set up with supplies for beading and for painting ceramics. Photo by me.
Another view of the lanterns.
Peering into a craft studio in Flinders Lane. It’s on a corner, and the full-height windows on both sides are festooned with lanterns, glowing gloriously in the night.

A beginning. Vision of the leaders in the southern #FirstNations communities in the #65000years exhibition. As you enter the #pottergallery you start with #Wurundjeri and #Palawa people. That is a good place to start.

View from a 13th floor hotel window, facing north-west. The glass facades of two office towers reflect images of other nearby buildings, gleaming with a faintly blue hue in the gentle morning sunshine. The sky is a clear, pale blue. Photo by me.

on what is now the site of Melbourne Zoo, Wurundjeri people were "encouraged" to travel from their home in Coranderrk and sit in this Victorian "living-diorama" with traditional clothes & artefacts (complete with a stuffed & posed dingo staring at the viewer) a HUMAN ZOO constructed for paying White visitors to observe "real live Aboriginals in their natural state"
Beruk Barak (“William Barak”) born in 1823 near Croydon, succeeded his cousin “Simon” Wonga as ngurunggaeta in 1875, before them it was Bebejan, Beruk Barak’s father. Billibellary (Beruk Barak’s uncle) was a signatory to John Batman’s 1835 “treaty” at Merri Creek, when Beruk Barak was 12 years old. He died in 1903. Aunty Doreen Garvey-Wandin is a current Wurundjeri Elder and Great Granddaughter Of William Barak

The side of a former shop red-brick building featuring a large "Eta Peanut Butter" sign. The sign appears to have been restored unlike 2 other faded ghost signs further up on the building. A door with white faded paint is to the right of the Eta sign.
A refurbished sign along with traces of some ghost signs spotted in Seddon, Victoria, AU.
The building is currently being used as a Gather Women Space.

“… land on which this #film was made - the #Wurundjeri people of the #WoiWurrung language group. We extend our respect to their Ancestors & all First Peoples & Elders past, present & future.”
Fascinating coda as the credits roll. I’ll have to dig on what that means.

A poster with the words “which Wurundjeri season were you born in?” The pie chart shows seven sections with different colours, images of animals and plants active in each season. Around the centre are the (Gregorian calendar) months that correspond with each season. Jan, Feb are Biderup, dry season, March is Iuk, eel season, April - July is Waring or Wombat season, August is Guling or orchid season, Oct-Nov is Poorneet or Tadpole season, December is Burath Gurru or grass flowering season.
Saw this at a community meeting with @dancingnat.bsky.social today. I was born during Poorneet, how about you?

Saw a Superb Lyrebird today, aka a Buln Buln in Woi wurrung. I've seen a few around over the last couple of years but this is the 1st time I’ve got one on video. It's not great quality but I'm thrilled. Here's a little snippet 🪶
