Towards a swimmable Lower Yarra River (Birrarung), it’s the journey that counts!

About Walk Talk Swim Birrarung

Picture short, guided river walks through Melbourne’s backyard, connecting with community and storytelling. Walk Talk Swim is an innovative Environmental Education program designed to empower the next generation of urban waterway swimmers and stewards. During this event series, you’ll get to learn practical ways of caring for the Birrarung’s wellbeing and share your ideas about future river swimming places. It is proudly led by Regeneration Projects, a City of Yarra Community Awards winner (2024), convenor of the international Swimmable Cities alliance and one of the key hubs in the local swimmable Birrarung movement.

This aligns with the City of Yarra’s Climate Emergency Plan and commitment as a Signatory of the Swimmable Cities Charter.
