Balla arat

Balla arat lies in the volcanic country west of the Yarrowee River. The steep cone of Mount Elephant rises above the plains to the southwest, while Mount Buninyong stands farther east. The latter is a place of spiritual importance to the Keyeet Balug clan of the Wadawurrung. Wetlands around what is now Lake Wendouree supplied food and drinking water and were shared seasonally with other clans, providing a setting for cultural gatherings.
