The woodlands areas around Euroa were like a supermarket, providing diverse food sources that sustained Taungurung People for generations. Since colonisation, the woodlands have been severely impacted, as has Taungurung culture. Yet deep in the soil, seeds lay dormant. At the Arb, we tell the story of regeneration and resilience.

There is a profound beauty in watching native birds returning to the Euroa Arboretum as their habitats are restored; just like the passion and pride that is reignited amongst our community as we play an active role in healing Country and sharing cultural practices and stories with you.

On this wawa biik experience, Taungurung guides welcome you to Country with a smoking ceremony to begin your safe journey. We’ll meander along the daanak (traditional bark carrier) trail sharing our stories of important plant species used especially by women for food, medicine and other cultural practice. You will be immersed in the ever-changing seasonal delights of this special location, share personal stories that provide insight into our cultural practices and taste native foods in our morning tea. We’ll also connect you with the team at the Arboretum who are putting in the time to regenerate this precious part of Country.
