About the rite
Murrum Turrukuruk is a revived Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung ceremony for girls around twelve to fourteen in Victoria. Senior women teach responsibilities to Country, elders, and younger children; body decoration and possum-skin belts or skirts make the new stage visible.
At completion, the girls are publicly recognized as young women. Community and museum sources document the revival through 2025.
