	Wurundjeri - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Woiwurrung territory extended from north of the Great Dividing Range, east to Mount Baw Baw, south to Mordialloc Creek and west to Werribee River.
		By 1863 the surviving members of the Wurundjeri and other Woiwurrung speakers were given 'permissive occupancy' of Coranderrk Station, near Healesville.
		Despite numerous petitions, letters, and delegations to the Colonial and Federal Government, the grant of this land in compensation for the country lost was refused.

		This area was originally part of the hunting grounds of a Wurundjeri clan of Woiwurrung people.
		As the area was densely wooded, he took the word from the Woiwurrung language, translating it as ' where the ground is thickly shaded'.
		The first local government body was the Boroondara District Road Board, formed in 1854 and incorporating the areas which were to become Hawthorn, Kew and Camberwell.

		The 69,000 square metre park was opened on Australia Day, January 26, 2002.
		The name means "river of mists" and "river bank" in the Woiwurrung language of the Wurundjeri people, the original Indigenous inhabitants of the Melbourne area.

		The celebration that was held in my electorate today was a very interesting one because, although the western suburbs of Melbourne are no longer the home of a very large number of Aboriginal people, they were traditionally the home of many Aboriginal people, particularly along the banks of the Maribyrnong River.
		The western suburbs were home to the Woiwurrung tribe and the Boonwurrung tribe, and the Australian Aborigines League was actually founded in Footscray in the 1930s.
		This was one of the first Aboriginal political organisations in Australia, and the league would be known to some for petitioning King George V to allow Aboriginal representation in the parliament.

		The term "Boroondara" comes from a word in the Woiwurrung language, spoken by the local Wurundjeri and four other main tribal groups of the "Kulin" nation, in the Port Phllip region in the 1830s.
		The name Boroondara was translated from the Woiwurrung by Hoddle as 'where the ground is thickly shaded'.
		They shared the Woiwurrung language which used the word 'Kulin' for man. They were also nomadic and roamed an area confined by natural boundaries.

		Residents of Coranderrk would have mainly been from the Kulin nation — Woiwurrung, Boonwurrung, Daungwurrung, Djadjawurrung and the Wathawurrung — the five groups from around Port Phillip.
		Other residents were soon moved to Coranderrk from across Victoria.
		Although the reserve was on Wurundjeri (part of the Woiwurrung) land, the Wurundjeri had no say as to who came onto their home lands.

		In any case, this work involves also looking at historical and geographic information, together with the linguistic data which can be abstracted from these sources.
		Through my research on the Melbourne language, I have found evidence to show the existence of three dialects of the Indigenous language once spoken in Central Victoria which are known as `Woiwurrung', `Boonwurrung' and Thagungwurrung'.
		My research explores the primary written sources for this language, as well as the compilations produced by secondary sources, in order to establish what linguistic features have been recorded and to ascertain how different each of these dialects are from each other.

		On June 6, 1835 John Batman and members of the Woiwurrung signed a legally prepared deed, whereby the PPA supposedly purchased 500,000 acres of land: John Batman: I was shot of convict seed.
		His job was to be Interpreter, between the settlers and the Woiwurrung and other tribes of the Kulin nations, the various Aboriginal groups surrounding Port Phillip Bay.
		Buckley you half-savage, what's Derrimut telling us!?' Like in a police cell, no one knows how much it took for Fawkner to get the information out of Buckley, but he did, and soon the guns were oiled, and that was the first and last time the Kulin nations were organised to get rid of us.

	Artback - Contemporary Music - Waak Waak Jungi (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Waak Waak Jungi is a unique music group showcasing songs from the ancient Aboriginal culture of Australia's remote Arnhemland region in the far north, in both traditional and contemporary form.
		They also perform "lost songs" reconstructed from the extinct Woiwurrung indigenous languages of the far south's Yarra Yarra tribes, near Melbourne.
		Derived from traditional languages of north-east Arnhemland, the words Waak Waak (Djinang) and Jungi (Ganalbingu) mean Crow Fire and pay homage to the two moieties Dhuwa and Yirritcha by which all people and things are at once separated, united and in balance, in the indigenous beliefs of the Yolgnu, (Aboriginal people from north-east Arnhemland).

	languagehat.com: Comment on BUNYIP.
		I may be wrong, but I think I've heard somewhere that bunyip's from Woiwurrung (one of the languages formerly spoken in the Melbourne area).
		I think it was portrayed that way in "Rose and the Midnight Cat", another children's book (not nearly as good as the magic pudding, though).
		I don't think most Australians would equate a bunyip with the rainbow serpent, even if that's what the Woiwurrung word means.

	MELBOURNE'S 6 SEASONS
		The Museum of Victoria has chosen to follow this pattern in its displays in Melbourne and at Coranderrk.
		The Museum have named the seasons after the Woiwurrung language names for eels, wombats, and orchid, tadpoles and grass, but it is not known if these names were used by the Woiwurrung.
		All the above are attempts to find the natural seasonal divisions of the area based on modern observations.

		Waak Waak Jungi is the story of the intensive living together of two Arnhemland traditional songmen and members of the tiny rural community of Christmas Hills near Melbourne (Vic) over the past four years.
		This recording is an account of the process we went through; there are traditional songs sung traditionally - reconstructions of 'lost' songs in the now extinct Woiwurrung language of the Melbourne and Yarra people and there are intensive rave songs - specifically recorded as performance pieces.
		Jimmy described this process as 'sharing the culture'.
