Make time for the Hawkesbury Regional Museum’s essential community venture, Bangadyi Nawi, on Saturday, 18 November 2023 at the Museum.

Everyone is encouraged to participate in the collaborative occasion by the Museum, the Dharug Community, and the Brewongle Environmental Education Centre.

Bangadyi Nawi & Museum Opening of Canoe Exhibit to Country ceremony might be led by Erin Wilkins, adopted by an Official Opening by Hawkesbury Councilor and Deputy Mayor Barry Calvert at 11:30 AM.


“The project has supplied a transformative expertise for local Aboriginal highschool students who created a conventional canoe during an inter-generational camp, led by Elder Uncle Dean Kelly and with Uncle David Payne and Dharug Educator Erin Wilkins,” the announcement indicated.

“As a model new exhibit, the canoe will form studying alternatives for the entire community.”

The Saturday occasion is freed from charge and may be booked online by way of Eventbrite: Celebration of Bangadyi Nawi and Opening of Canoe Exhibit. Light refreshments will be supplied.

The Museum was also nominated just lately at the IMAGinE Awards 2023 by the Museums & Galleries of NSW for its engagement program known as “Bangadyi Nawi Making Making a Canoe.”

The Hawkesbury Regional Museum is located at eight Baker Street in Windsor.
