Make time for the Hawkesbury Regional Museum’s necessary group challenge, Bangadyi Nawi, on Saturday, 18 November 2023 on the Museum.

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

The Welcome to Country ceremony shall be led by Erin Wilkins, adopted by an Official Opening by Hawkesbury Councilor and Deputy Mayor Barry Calvert at eleven:30 AM.

“The venture has supplied a transformative expertise for native Aboriginal highschool students who created a traditional canoe throughout 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 brand new exhibit, the canoe will shape studying opportunities for the whole neighborhood.”

The Saturday occasion is freed from cost and may be booked on-line via Eventbrite: Celebration of Bangadyi Nawi and Opening of Canoe Exhibit. Light refreshments will be provided.

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


The Hawkesbury Regional Museum is situated at 8 Baker Street in Windsor.
