Indigenous Culture
In the Grampians, Indigenous culture is not a chapter in history. It is a living presence that surrounds you. This is Gariwerd, a landscape shaped by time and spirit, where Aboriginal people were the first to walk, to listen and to care for Country. Stories are held in the land itself, etched into sandstone shelters and carried on the wind.
At Bunjil’s Shelter, the creator spirit watches over the valley, arms outstretched in a gesture of protection and belonging. Across the national park, ancient rock art sites reveal scenes of ceremony, hunting and connection. These artworks are not relics. They are expressions of identity, memory and deep cultural knowledge that continues to guide and inspire.
Visitors are encouraged to walk with respect, to listen with curiosity and to understand that culture here is not behind glass. It is underfoot, overhead and within reach. In Gariwerd, Indigenous culture is not the past. It is presence, power and a story still unfolding.
