Yalinguth Birrarung/Yarra River
Tour
About
Take a journey through time along the Birrarung/Yarra River in Naarm/Melbourne CBD via an augmented audio app called Yalinguth, which means yesterday in Woi Wurrung, the language of the Wurundjeri people. Yalinguth is an immersive geolocated audio experience that follows the river from Enterprize Park (near Queens Bridge) to the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) sharing history through stories, from a First Nations perspective.
Stories and soundscapes include what this area was like in pre-colonial times before the tall ships arrived, the impact of colonisation, the rights movement and staunch leaders, marngrook/AFL, and the pre-colonial history of the MCG site, being an important gathering place. You'll also hear relevant music along the way from Archie Roach, Ruby Hunter, Kev Carmody and Kutcha Edwards.
For a beginning feel start at Enterprize Park on the river between Queens Bridge and the Aquarium, and work your way to the MCG via Federation Square and Birrarung Marr. The walk may take one to three hours depending how long you stop at various locations, or stop to refuel.
