Merri Creeek Management Committee

We acknowledge the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung People of the Kulin Nation as the Traditional Owners of the land of the Merri Merri.

Dr AngelaWe congratulate our Special Engagement Programs Coordinator, Angela Foley, who graduated in September 2021 with a Doctor of Philosophy in Education. Her doctoral thesis, titled The art of place-making on Wurundjeri Country today, is an intercultural study that reflects on how the things we make, and the stories we tell and share, reveal how we are connected to Country in contemporary ways, including in urban places.

Wurundjeri panel - featureSee a web version of these fabulous panels which celebrate the outstanding community achievement since 1975 in transforming Merri Creek from a weed-smothered drain to a much-loved waterway running through a bushland corridor: fronts of panels (17MB file); backs of panels (9MB file).

The two metre size panels were originally displayed at libraries and other public places throughout the Merri Creek catchment over 16 months until late 2016, in celebration of MCMC's 25th Anniversary.
