Watch the sun set over our beautiful brown Birrarung and learn a thing or two about the watery lifeline of our city with Carolyn Tate, writer, river-swimmer and the 2024 Riverfest Producer at the Yarra Riverkeeper Association.

Acknowledgement of Country

The Yarra Riverkeeper Association acknowledges that the lands and waterways of the Yarra, Birrarung catchment, are the unceded territories of the Wurundjeri Woi-Wurrung and Bunurong peoples. We pay respect to Traditional Owners, who have, and continue, to care for Country. We acknowledge that the river now called Yarra has always been known as the Birrarung by its custodians.
