The mountain and river people of central Victoria whose country holds the headwaters of the great Murray-Darling system.
Taungurung People — the Aboriginal Australian nation whose traditional country encompasses the central highlands of Victoria, the Great Dividing Range's mountain landscapes, river valleys, and grassy plains stretching from the upper Goulburn and Yea rivers through the ranges to the Mitchell and Delatite, a country of extraordinary ecological diversity where the alpine ash forests of the high country give way to the river red gum corridors of the lowland streams and the open grasslands of the inland plains, the Taungurung people's custodianship of this landscape representing thousands of generations of intimate knowledge of a country whose seasonal rhythms, plant foods, animal movements, and waterway systems they understood with a precision and depth that sustained thriving communities across every environment their country encompassed. The Taungurung nation — whose name meaning 'mountain people' reflects their deep connection to the ranges that form the backbone of their country, whose ceremonial life, trade networks, and kinship relationships connected them to the Wurundjeri, Dja Dja Wurrung, and other Kulin nation peoples of central Victoria in a web of shared law and mutual obligation that made the Kulin alliance one of southeastern Australia's most sophisticated indigenous political formations — maintained across the upheaval of colonial settlement a continuity of cultural identity, language revival effort, and connection to country that the Taungurung Land and Waters Council today expresses through native title recognition, land management partnerships, and the cultural revitalization programs that are bringing Taungurung language, ceremony, and ecological knowledge back into the living practice of a proud and resilient people.
