Art and interpretive content of various forms can be discovered along the trails.
ngurrak barring | RidgeWalk delivers 14km of new and improved tracks, architectural nodes, permanent sculptures, land art and heritage interpretation. It also includes a program of temporary exhibitions and performances, attracting visitors from across the country and around the world.
ngurrak barring | RidgeWalk's dynamic artistic program provides opportunities for multi-sensory, participatory and educational experiences. It also serves as a platform for ongoing exploration of creativity, history and place.
Some of Australia’s most significant artists, both Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal, have drawn inspiration from the Dandenongs, and the region continues to thrive as a creative hub. ngurrak barring | RidgeWalk examines the human relationship to place, from First Nations people’s connection to Country, to shared contemporary experiences.
