eora journey- Sustainable Sydney 2030

Eora Journey is an innovative approach to celebrating indigenous culture and telling the story of Indigenous life in Sydney.

Through a walking trail design, Eora Journey will reveal stories of places of Indigenous importance and provide a visual and experiential Indigenous history of the land and harbour.

The walk could include murals, messages, monuments, art, signs and prose by Indigenous Australians. Use of distinctive natural materials and finishes to roads and paths, along with Indigenous plantings will improve the experience of cycling and walking through the City’s parklands. The walk could link with the Glebe to Rushcutters Bay foreshore walk and the cultural ribbon walk, connecting key cultural institutions and highlights along the Harbour.

Part of the project is the development of an Indigenous Knowledge and Cultural Centre, a place of indigenous learning and living culture. It will build community connections and be a focal point for ceremony and performance.

The City will be consulting with the Indigenous community and its Aboriginal Advisory Committee before determining the final location for the trail. One suggestion has been that the story telling corridor might extend from a meeting place in Redfern, through Prince Alfred Park, and Hyde Park to Mrs Macquarie’s Chair.
