Statement of Significance
A standing stone and plaque memorial marker commemorating Barak (1818?- 1903) headman and "last full blood" of the Wurundjeri people, and the vicinity of his birthplace at Brushy Creek, erected by the Croydon Historical Society in 1985. Historically significant locally as the place associated with Barak, an important and significant historical figure. Socially significant as a place of community action towards historic commemoration and presumably an early gesture locally in the reconciliation process.
