Linking Wangaratta to cultural trail and ancient tales
15/09/2026We're supporting tourism in Wangaratta through the installation of wayfinding signage and sculptural signposts to connect people to the Bullawah Cultural Trail.
Delivered with $100,000 from our Council Support Package, the installations are designed to make the trail a must-see destination for visitors from near and far.
This new wayfinding signage will guide people through Wangaratta to the river precinct and onto the start of the trail.
The Bullawah Cultural Trail stretches along the banks of the Torryong (Ovens) River for more than two kilometres. It offers a place for people to uncover the stories, spirituality, culture, and food of Wangaratta’s Bangerang First Peoples.
Works have also installed public seating and sculptural signposts that honour and promote the stories of Bangerang elders, who assisted with the cultural trail project in 2016.
These stories were generously shared to celebrate local Bangerang culture and promote awareness of this important cultural asset that protects local First People stories.
Our Council Support Package has helped regional councils invest in projects that create lasting value for their communities by:
- driving visitation
- creating public spaces
- empowering volunteers
- sharing First Peoples’ culture.
It has supported several projects that celebrate and support First Peoples’ culture across the state.
This includes the recently completed Gateway Island Trail in Wodonga, and the 2024 Deadly in Gippsland Expo, which connected, educated and empowered First Nations businesses and raised their profile among potential buyers.
It’s part of ongoing work to make rural and regional Victoria even better places to live, work, stay, experience, invest and study.
