At the award-winning Brambuk Aboriginal Cultural Centre, you get to know the Aboriginal heritage and culture – they’re the traditional land owners with thousands of years of history. More than 5,000 years ago, the indigenous inhabitants of Gariwerd (the Grampian’s traditional name) occupied the region and left historical artifacts, the Aboriginal rock arts. They have a rich heritage and tradition, as can be gleaned from their stories, legends, and myths.
You can also learn about the region’s different plants and animal species. The Grampians is home to hundreds of native wildlife and bird species. The woodlands, open forests, swamplands, grasslands, and waterways serve as natural wildlife habitats.
