Description
Bunjil
The stone sculpture commemorates the indigenous Creator Spirit, Bunjil and the Wathaurong Aboriginal people. The sculpture is in the shape of a wedged-tail eagle. Traditionally, Bunjil formed all the natural features of the land, its animals, plants and people. Bunjil also bestowed the laws and traditions of the Wathaurong people
Walk in via the Branding Yard trail to view the Bunjil Geoglyph, from the ground. The spectacular stone structure, in the shape of a wedge tailed eagle was created by Andrew Rogers to commemorate the Melbourne 2006 Commonwealth Games. In spring and early summer, admire the blooms of wildflowers across the rocky landscape.
All of the plaques at this location appear on the internet in one form or another, so even though you may admire the information signs, you will need to answer one other question which you will need to be at the location to determine.
How many large rocks surround the semi-circle where the information plaque is located? 10, 15, 25 or 50?
