Eastern Maar
are the Traditional Owners and enduring custodians of the Country the Visitor Centre and Twelve Apostles are on, with continuing responsibilities for land and sea Country.
Eastern Maar knowledge and values have helped shape how the precinct is designed, named, interpreted, regenerated and cared for.
Curated experiences reveal the Twelve Apostles as more than a view, but a living Country to understand, respect and care for.
The Keerraay Woorroong Experience
Engage with Keerray Woorroong Culture through plinths featuring significant objects, a central skylight connecting to Bunjil (Wedge-tailed eagle) and Sky Country, Kooyang (short-finned eel) artwork woven through the landscaping and an immersive display in the Keerraay Woorroong Experience space.
These installations are offered to spark curiosity, inviting visitors to seek out deeper and ongoing engagement with Eastern Maar Culture.
Surrounding the building are expansive native gardens, with 100,000 plants selected by Eastern Maar to create a Welcome Garden, bush tucker gardens, coastal gardens, and a ‘green roof’ of woodland, grassland and coastal scrubs.
