BGM_Whispere in the Gardens: Fitzroy Gardens Through Time

Benefit the leafy shade and winding paths of Fitzroy Gardens lies a story far deeper than its picture - perfect calm. In this episode of Down the Yarra, we wander through the garden’s multi layered past - front Wurundjeri land and the long - lost creek, to colonial ambition, Cook’s Cottage, and the mysterious Fairies’ Tree. We explore how the Fitzroy Gardens became a green sanctuary for both memory and escape, what its future might hold facing climate shifts and the calls for truth - telling. Trigger Warning: This episode contains references to colonisation and dispossession, that may be distressing to some listeners. So Listeners discretion is advised. Stick around for a teaser of our next episode, where we head into the beating heart and soul of Aussie Sport, the mighty MCG.
