I acknowledge the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung people as the Traditional Custodians of the lands and waterways in the area now known as Moreland. I pay my respect to their Elders past, present, and emerging, as well as to all First Nations communities who significantly contribute to the life of the area.
The Merri Creek is a beautiful waterway which flows through the northern suburbs of Melbourne. The area where the creek meets the river was traditionally the location for large gatherings of the Wurundjeri people
The creek was the site of heavy industrial use throughout much of the 20th century, being home to quarries, landfills and accepting waste runoff from neighbouring factories. Recent decades have seen some regenerative planting and the creek is now surrounded by colourful flora, such as Golden Spray, Tufted Bluebell, Yellow Box, Austral Indigo, Tree Violet, River Red Gum, and Ruby Saltbush.
This colourful cache takes inspiration from this kaleidoscopic landscape of flowers & trees, mosaics, and urban art.
