Rosey Hallewas - "Birrarung flowed here"

The Birrarung, has a ghost, a spirit in all those parts of her mis-understood, changed and lost, in all those places are memories of what occurred for thousands of years, even though now visually altered and changed, the ghosts of Birrarung’s wetlands and river bends can still be felt like a limb misplaced, these limbs are calling to be heard, calling to be understood; heart stories of tribes gathering, clean water, stories and ritual shared. Secrets are shared as you enter a neutral place between the north and south.
