William Barak Bridge is part of a pedestrian and cyclist path connecting the Melbourne Cricket Ground within Yarra Park to Birrarung Marr heading towards Federation Square and the Central Business District in the background. The namesake for this four-stage, 1,722 foot truss bridge is William Barak. He was the last of the Wurundjeri when he died in 1903. They were a clan of Aboriginal people who initially inhabited today’s Melbourne.
