Culture on the Kiewa with John Murray
Event description
Join John Murray, Yorta Yorta and Dhuduroa descendant, for some cultural insights on the banks of the Kiewa river.

Where: Kiewa river, meet at the Killara picnic area carpark.

Weather watch: This walk will go ahead unless there are floods, thunderstorms or heavy rain predicted.
