History, Culture and Science Education

Telling the facts that shaped the land, animals, the people, and Australia’s shared history.

Developed alongside the feature film Magic Lands – Purra and Buckley’s Chance, this educational program by Magic Lands Alliance (MLA) offers an in-depth exploration of the history and science of Victoria’s Country and First Peoples. Drawing from over 160 referenced articles and film research on Victoria, Wadawurrung Country and Australia (Vegter, 2025), it combines storytelling, archaeology, geology, ecology, and cultural knowledge to illuminate the evolution of land, life, and identity. Delivered online, the course promotes truth-telling and cultural understanding through collaboration with First Nations communities, inviting learners to explore the deep connections between people, Country, sky, and sea — before, during, and after colonisation.
