1. Boon Wurrung Blossom Marker
In a culture based on an oral tradition, the transfer of knowledge from one generation to the next was instrumental in the survival of the clans that made up the Boon wurrung; it continues to be a special place for both Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians today.
'Boon Wurrung Blossom' acknowledges the original inhabitants of this land, especially the women and the children. It reminds us of the important role reconciliation plays in connecting all those Australians from different cultures from around the world that have made Boon Wurrung's land their home, together with the first inhabitants of this and - The Boon Wurrung.
The edible fruit of the 'Boon Wurrung Blossom' is reconciliation between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians.
Erected by Bayside City Council.
