Muru Giligu (Path of Light) is a 67 metre long pedestrian tunnel linking the North and South concourses at Sydney Metro Martin Place. It is fascinating, using interactive colour-changing LED lighting, sounds and responsive sensors. It could be argued that it is a sensory overload but I found it quite relaxing and interesting. Like a mood ring or something.

The name Muru Giligu describes Sky Country, stars and navigation. The Gadigal people used these things to make decisions on the timing of spiritual ceremonies. The passing down of knowledge and information through active storytelling plays an important part of Gadigal culture.
