We invite you to join us in this walk that brings together the spirit of Jane Jacob's walk with the oral storytelling tradition of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. This walk brings together the spirit of Jane Jacobs Walk with the oral storytelling tradition of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. We will be exploring Gertrude Street in the Fitzroy neighbourhood of Melbourne, using the app Yalinguth, which uses geo-located oral storytelling. https://www.yalinguth.com.au/

The app is meant to "connect all communities to historical firsthand accounts told by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders. The purpose is to increase knowledge, empathy, respect, and community connection. Yalinguth is also a celebration of the Elders who paved the way for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Rights in Victoria and Australia."

Using the app, we will take a "stroll down Gertrude Street in Ngár-go/Fitzroy, a highly significant area for the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Rights Movement. We will walk around the neighbourhood, listening to geo-located stories and sounds that will take us on a journey through time."

Let us take the initiative and explore Gertrude Street together, uncovering "the wisdom and stories of [community] Elders and ancestors as [we] walk [our] own journey."
