Explore Bunjilaka

Monash Residential Services (MRS) is proud to offer subsidised day trips for residents to explore a range of destinations across Victoria. These day trips are exclusively available to members of the Monash on-campus residential community.

This trip offers the opportunity to explore the Bunjilaka Aboriginal Cultural Centre at Melbourne Museum and experience an Aboriginal Heritage Walk at the Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria. 

We'll travel via a private charter bus to Carlton, where we will visit the Bunjilaka Aboriginal Cultural Centre, which tells the story of survival against the odds and celebrates vibrant cultures through performances, storytelling, artwork and more.

We'll also have a picnic lunch together and journey into the Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne, a significant cultural site for the local Kulin Nation, with a First Peoples guide. Gain insight into the rich history and thriving culture of the First Peoples of Australia through a journey of identifying significant native plants within the Gardens. Learn about Aboriginal plant uses, customs and ongoing connection to Country.
