Our walking experience for students explores features of Melbourne’s second major waterway, the Mirring-gnai-birr-nong, home to both old and new living environments. Despite being the second major waterway in Melbourne, many know little about its natural beauty and extraordinary history.
EXPLORE the heritage wharves precinct and natural wetlands in the historic Saltwater River Crossing Site.
LEARN about its history from geographical beginnings to traditional owners to colonists, bridges, industry, munitions, wharves and the contemporary township of Footscray.
TOURS are normally 2.5 hours long. School tours are 2 hours.
