Hares & Hyenas is based on the land of the Wurundjeri people of the Woi Wurrung First Nation, who made alliances with the Boon Wurrung, Dja Dja Wurrung, Wathaurong and Taungerung First Nations to form the confederation of the Kulin Nations, covering all of what is now known as Melbourne and far beyond. We acknowledge Aboriginal and Torres Strait ownership of this place and pay respect to all its First Peoples.

Sovereignty of the land was never ceded—always was, always will be Aboriginal land.

HARES & HYENAS

This community bookshop specialises in queer, sexuality, sex and gender diverse titles in all their manifestations and intersections. Wheelchair accessible.
