Summary
The Lal Lal Falls, sacred to the Wadawurrung people as the home of their Creator spirit Bunjil, are drying up — not just from drought, but due to upstream water theft by the Tianyu Wool estate. This Chinese-owned wool giant has expanded massive dams on Granite Creek, siphoning water before it reaches the falls, severing deep cultural and spiritual ties for Indigenous communities. Locals and environmentalists are fighting back against a controversial permit, demanding accountability and water justice, as the battle for cultural survival and ecological balance intensifies.
