The Wurundjeri people take their name from the Woi-wurrung words wurun, meaning ‘Manna Gum,’ and djeri, the grub found in or near the tree. Known as the ‘Manna Gum people,’ the Wurundjeri have lived on their land for thousands of years. Wurundjeri Country spans diverse landscapes, including grasslands, volcanic plains, ranges, forests, wetlands, waterways, and the Sea Country of Port Phillip Bay. It stretches north to the Great Dividing Range, west to the Werribee River, south to Mordialloc Creek, and east to Mount Baw Baw.
