Murran Hub

'Murran', meaning Eucalypt Leaf in Wadawurrung language was chosen as the name for this Business, Retail and Arts Hub in Geelong.

Murran, led by Ngarrimili, is a hub for Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander individuals to access and thrive within.

Cafe
Co-working space (with hot desking opportunities)
Meeting rooms
Conference rooms (that can be accessed by non-Indigenous partners, individuals and organisations)
Events space & Workshops space

Eucalypt leaves, a welcome gift, smoked to cleanse, crushed, and boiled to heal. Wadawurrung people would wear Eucalypt on their bodies and men would place them on their spears as a sign of peace to come together with no harm, to gather in peace on Country. Eucalypt trees grow and prosper from the waters of Country, the nourishment that our Mother Country gives. Eucalypt are a connection to all Peoples living on or off Country.

Murran lies in the heart of Geelong and is a place for Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander community to access and thrive within. The objectives of Murran are:
