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

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

The Welcome to Country ceremony will be led by Erin Wilkins, adopted by an Official Opening by Hawkesbury Councilor and Deputy Mayor Barry Calvert at 11:30 AM.

“The challenge has provided a transformative experience for local Aboriginal highschool college students who created a conventional 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 Bangadyi Nawi & Museum Opening of Canoe Exhibit , the canoe will shape studying opportunities for the whole neighborhood.”

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

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

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