Visit the stone axe quarry

Impressive history: A section of the Mount William stone axe quarry.

A cultural education session will be part of a tour of the Victorian Aboriginal heritage-listed Mount William stone axe quarry (Will-in-ee Mooring) next week.


The free event on Tuesday September 3 is particularly aimed at landholders in the Mount William and Lancefield areas, with the aim of learning more about the Aboriginal culture heritage of the district.


Information will be provided on how landholders can identify and protect Aboriginal culture heritage items they may find on their properties.


Macedon Ranges Shire’s healthy landscapes program and the Upper Deep Creek Landcare are combining resources for the special day, in conjunction with the Wurundjeri Woi-warring Cultural Heritage Aboriginal Corporation.


There will be a traditional smoking ceremony and Welcome to Country, with the time set aside from 10.30am to 3.30pm. Lunch will be provided.


Those attending are advised to wear appropriate outdoor clothing footwear, and a minor level of fitness and mobility is required.
