Please join us this NAIDOC week for an Emu Egg painting workshop. You will learn the story of Barraeemal (The Emu) in BoonWurrung Culture.
The different traditional uses of Emus and the part they play in recognising the changing BoonWurrung seasons.
Emu eggs are delicate so this workshop is appropriate for children 8-10 (with adult help) and 11-16 tweens/teens.
Cost to attend is free, but bookings are required to assist with materials and resourcing.
* Our team is always available to assist, please let us know if you need support during your visit. Please find Access
