We welcome you to the Euroa Arboretum (‘the Arb’), a regenerated pocket of Taungurung Country that is actively achieving positive outcomes for healthy Country (biik). Learn about the proud Taungurung story, alongside the inspiring Euroa Arb story. This experience is as much about the celebration of meaningful partnerships as it is about our proud Culture and biik.

In this environment of regenerated grassy woodlands, typical of what Country would have looked like pre-colonisation, our Taungurung guides share the ways in which cultural life, both traditional and contemporary, are inextricably linked to healthy biik. Begin with a traditional Welcome Smoking Ceremony – a ceremony that has been performed for thousands of years, followed by a guided walk along the daanak trail to learn of seasonal native plant species and their uses for food, medicine, fibre and cultural practice. Taste bush foods, enjoy yarns and give thanks to the seasonal abundance and diversity of Country.
