Wathaurong Booln Booln Cultural Centre

“Booln Booln” means Lyrebird. The lyrebird is known for its remarkable ability to mimic and share sounds, a speaker of all languages. This is symbolic of the many mobs that make up our Wathaurong Aboriginal Community.

Wathaurong Booln Booln Cultural Centre isn’t just for some; it’s a space for everyone. Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal, locals and visitors, families and professionals, young and old.

Just as the Lyrebird listens and carries the songs of the bush, we carry and honour the voices of our people.
