Gawa Wurundjeri Resource Trail (Watsons Creek)
The Gawa Wurundjeri Resource Trail is a self guided 340m loop walking trail. Markers explain how the Wurundjeri clan lived near the creek and used the land to obtain bush foods, medicines, implements, shelter and clothes. The trail introduces visitors to the indigenous flora and fauna, including manna gums, Lomandra (used to weave baskets) and wombat burrows.
The Trail was launched by Wurundjeri elder Jim Wandin and the Nillumbik Reconciliation Group in partnership with the Nillumbik Shire Council on 12 August 2001.
Features of the walk are:
- Easy short walk - unsuitable for wheelchairs
