Schools Program

Birrarung Falls Walk

Led by one of our friendly Koorie guides, the Birrarung Falls Walk is designed to introduce you to Melbourne's Aboriginal and early settlement history along Birrarung Marr (Beside the River of Mists or the Yarra River).

Beginning at the Koorie Heritage Trust, you will be taken to the Birrarung Wilam (Common Ground) Aboriginal art installations, which gives a Kulin perspective to the knowledge you will gain during this fascinating journey. As you meander along the Birrarung Marr, your Koorie guide will show and explain significant sites and landmarks including the site of the Elizabeth Street Creek and the original location of the Birrarung Falls where you will be able to look down to the first wharves constructed at the time of settlement and the long disappeared turning basins for sailing ships.

It is recommended to arrive at the Koorie Heritage Trust 30 minutes early to give you time to take in our latest temporary exhibition, view our permanent collections and wander through our shop, where we are the leading retailer of authentic South East Australian Aboriginal art, craft and design.

Duration: 1 − 1.5 hours (approx)

Birrarung Wilam (River Camp) Walk

The Birrarung Wilam Walk takes you through Federation Square and down to the Birrarung Wilam (Common Ground) Aboriginal art installations experiencing the Aboriginal history of the Birrarung Marr (Beside the river of mists) and Aboriginal Peoples of the Kulin Nation.

With one of our friendly Koorie guides, you will learn how the land on which Melbourne is located has changed over time and learn the significance of the Birrarung Wilam to the local Kulin peoples. You will gain a deeper and more meaningful understanding of this incredible location, an important gathering place for the Kulin Nation and one of Melbourne's most popular meeting hubs.

Duration: 1 hour (approx)

Reko Rennie is an interdisciplinary artist living in Melbourne who explores his Aboriginal identity through contemporary mediums. His contemporary interpretation of traditional Aboriginal symbols provides an interesting area for discussion. In the linked video Rennie explains that he gained permission to use certain symbols. This is important to discuss and explore with students as it provides understanding of ownership and cultural customs.

This decision was informed by the recommendation in Protocols for Koorie education in Victorian primary and secondary schools a publication by Victorian Aboriginal Education Association which states that "local Koorie cultural and historical content should be a priority focus and
tapped into wherever possible and appropriate, following a Koorie community-preferred
education model which focuses at the local level first (ask yourself whose land or Country the school is situated on), followed by regional, state, national and international indigenous perspectives" (VAEAI, 2016, p17).

At the close of the First World War, Australia began an ambitious and controversial soldier settlement scheme, allocating small parcels of potential farming land to returned soldiers.
33,000 acres were set aside in Red Cliffs, and in 1920, the returnees started clearing the Mallee Scrub, making Red Cliffs the largest Irrigated Soldiers’ Settlement in Australia.
The Red Cliffs Military Museum, part of the Red Cliffs-Irymple RSL Sub-Branch, began around 1995, when a small billiard room was used to store wartime artefacts donated by local families. By 1997 the collection had grown so much that the museum developed and started opening to the public.
The collection continues to grow and holds artefacts from the Boer War, WW1, WW2, Vietnam and East Timor, and includes diaries, albums, arms, documents and uniforms, scale models and trench art.
A range of these artefacts, and interviews with soldiers and their families, telling of life in and between the First and Second World Wars, are presented here.

Sovereignty was an exhibition at ACCA in 2016/17 focusing on
contemporary art of First Nations peoples of South
East Australia. The exhibition was co-curated by Max Delany and Paula Bell and positioned historical works with contemporary practices to
"explore culturally and linguistically diverse narratives
of self-determination, identity, sovereignty and
resistance" (ACCA, 2016). This education kit is a valuable resource for thematically contextualising different Aboriginal Australians artworks and artists practices. The gallery also created a PDF of curriculum links with suggested learning activities.
