Tanderrum
Wednesday 4 October
Each year the first words of Melbourne Festival come from those who have carried this land’s stories the longest—the First Peoples of Melbourne. This year’s Tanderrum will end with a Kulin Nation tribute to the murrup (spirit) of William Barak. Barak was Ngurungeta—a leader, warrior and spokesperson for Wurundjeri Country. For the final dance the Kulin Nation invite you to join them for a song reclaimed from rare historical recordings of Barak.
