Living with Birrarung 1: To Be Alive

Hey humans! In our first episode of season one, Living with Birrarung, we're diving straight into the question of what it means for a river to be alive. Birrarung was recognised as "one, integrated and living entity" in Victorian legislation in 2017. Since then, the ripples of that recognition have become waves that continue to influence policy, governance, community action, and our relationship with the river today. In this episode we heard from: * Uncle Andrew Gardiner, Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung Elder and member of the Birrarung Council. Read more about the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung vision for Birrarung, community and Country in Nhanbu narrun ba ngargunin twarn (Ancient Spirit and Lore of the Yarra) [https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/hdp.au.prod.app.mw-yoursay.files/2315/8984/4614/Wurundjeri_Woi_Wurrung_Birrarung_Water_Policy.pdf].  * Dr Erin O'Donnell from the Melbourne Law School and member of the Birrarung Council. You can find out more about the Birrarung Council at https://www.birrarungcouncil.vic.gov.au/ [https://www.birrarungcouncil.vic.gov.au/].  * Emma Barnett, Community Engagement and Education Officer at the Yarra Riverkeeper Association.
