When: 10am - 11:30am, Wednesday 14th October

Join us to celebrate the fascinating creatures that call the Birrarung (Yarra River) home. Perfect for young children and families, this playful session encourages curiosity, creativity and appreciation of the creatures who live in and around the Birrarung. We’ll think about the elusive platypus, the incredible Short-finned eel and other amazing aquatic species in the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung season of porneet.

Become part of the story! Choose your favourite Birrarung creature and have it beautifully painted on your hand (SkinArt) to celebrate some of the creatures of Wurundjeri Country.
