Kalkallo and Donnybrook Community

A local platform created by and for the Kalkallo and Donnybrook Community.

We acknowledge that the Kalkallo area is located on the traditional lands of the Woiwurrung people, and we pay deep respect to their Elders past and present. The Wurundjeri-willam clan, whose country extended through this region including nearby South Morang, have cared for this land for countless generations. The name Kalkallo itself is believed to originate from the language of the local Indigenous people, though its precise meaning has been lost over time. That mystery speaks to the depth and richness of a culture that long predates our written records — and deserves ongoing recognition.

Proudly featuring the Plains Yam Daisy, a native flower once abundant across these plains, our logo honours both Kalkallo’s natural heritage and historical roots. The year 1874 marks the founding of Kalkallo as a township — a moment in time that connects us to both past and present.
