Wurundjeri - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (353 words)
The Wurundjeri are Indigenous Australians of the Kulin nation, who occupied the Yarra River Valley and its tributaries in what is now Melbourne, Australia prior to European settlement of the area.
By 1863 the surviving members of the Wurundjeri and other Woiwurrung speakers were given 'permissive occupancy' of Coranderrk Station, near Healesville.
Despite numerous petitions, letters, and delegations to the Colonial and Federal Government, the grant of this land in compensation for the country lost was refused.
