Ria Soemardjo s the final leg of the Cheltenham to Box Hill journey, starting just north of the Burwood Highway beside Deakin University. We walk along the KooyongKoot via the Gardiners Creek Trail, pausing to talk about conservation and community building with the Urban Guerrillas.  Ria Soemardjo is a musician with a ion for collaborating with artists across a diverse range of genres and artforms. Her distinct, haunting vocal style reflects her Australian / Indonesian cultural heritage and she draws on her fascination for Indonesian musical traditions in her song writing and collaborative projects. www.riavoice.com The Urban Guerrillas have a ground-up approach to environmental engagement to bring about change for the environment. They strive to reintroduce and restore Indigenous biodiversity back into urban landscapes and while doing so, invite and encourage young community , of all ability and background, to take part and learn about their local environment.
