Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne
Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria is a leading cultural and environmental institution offering immersive Aboriginal experiences in Melbourne. This iconic green space, established in 1846, sits on the traditional lands of the Kulin Nations, who have cared for and connected with this Country for tens of thousands of years.
Led by knowledgeable Aboriginal guides, the signature Aboriginal Heritage Walk invites you to explore the enduring cultural practices, stories, and knowledge systems of the First Peoples of the region. Enjoy a guided walk through the Gardens, where you’ll learn about native plants used for food, tools, and medicine, and hear stories that reveal the deep spiritual connection between people and place.
This immersive experience is far from your average walk in the park. It’s a journey into the heart of one of the world’s oldest living cultures, set against the backdrop of one of Melbourne’s most beloved landmarks.
Whether you're a local or visiting Melbourne, the Aboriginal Heritage Walk is a must-do for anyone looking to connect with the land, its history, and its Traditional Custodians.
