Rare Books Melbourne and the Melbourne Athenaeum Library are pleased to announce that the 2025 Gary Morgan oration will be presented by Dr Alisa Bunbury, who will present an oration entitled:The Birrarung and Melbourne, art and images.
Melbourne was established at the small waterfall that separated freshwater from salt, an important cultural site and crossing point for members of the Kulin nation. The Birrarung (Yarra) river immediately became a feature in depictions of the developing city. This talk will explore changing visual representations of, and attitudes towards, the river in Melbourne's first century.
