The Journey of the Iilk

Using some traditional language, The Journey of the Iilk is a thoughtful children’s book, illustrated by the Balnarring Preschool Bubups (children), that explores the fascinating life cycle of the Iilk (eel) and its cultural significance to the Boon Wurrung people. Through its rich insights, readers gain an understanding of the Iilk’s importance, discover the Boon Wurrung seasons, and engage with Boon Wurrung language.
