Here's what some folk who have been on a Melbourne Songlines tour are saying about it...

I really did not have a great understanding of any of the subjects that Melbourne Songlines covered, so in that sense you really increased my awareness! That said, I wasn't overwhelmed with all of the information that you gave, it was well balanced. I really enjoyed learning more about all of the forces affecting Indigenous Australians in Melbourne and I felt that I had enough time to digest it. I loved the history and you spoke about it with such passion, we couldn’t help but be drawn in. — Carly

I found the walk very informative and learned a lot about the early days of Melbourne and issues with Indigenous people. It was great to hear about those significant leaders. I found the balance of information and contemplation good. It was really good that you gave us the handout at the beginning and the suggested books was a good idea too. What I learnt is challenging my life and faith as I consider what my response is. — Phillipa
