Description
River to Bay explores the rich history and significance of the waterways within Kulin Nation country, which have been vital to the traditional owners' way of life for over 40,000 years.
These same essential waterways provided safe harbour to the first European settlers as they embarked on voyages of exploration. The discoveries they made played a crucial role in shaping the development of Victoria.
