Bullen Bullen Cultural Tours

Welcome to Bullen Bullen Cultural Tours, located at 70 Monbulk Road, Kallista, Victoria, Australia. As the Traditional Custodians of Melbourne and the surrounding lands, we, the Wurundjeri people, have been caring for Country since its creation by Bunjil, the great Eagle, and Balliyang the bat. Our institution proudly continues to preserve our culture and welcomes all visitors to our lands.

For school groups of 25 or more students, we offer a unique and educational experience from Monday to Friday by appointment. Students will have the opportunity to embark on a Wurundjeri guided tour of the Margaret Leister Trail and engage in indigenous activities such as crushing ochre, creating emu feather art, hand printing, charcoal coloring, and exploring an artifact display.

During your visit, you'll have the chance to partake in the ancient tradition of Tanderrum, a ceremony that welcomes guests to Country. By walking through sacred smoke and accepting our hospitality, you agree to respect and care for Country, the land, the lore, and us, the children of Bunjil, throughout your stay.

Immerse yourself in the traditional lifestyle of our Ancestors as you learn about the rhythms, rituals, and relationships between people and place. Discover our cultural values and the influential leaders who continue to guide us, such as Wonga and Barak.

Prepare to heighten your senses and open your heart to Country. Experience the sights, smells, tastes, touches, and sounds that embody the music of Country. Learn about our lore, traditional foods, fibers, and the unique uses of our plants and animals.

Bullen Bullen Cultural Tours is operated by the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung Cultural Heritage Aboriginal Corporation.
