If statues could talk … what could we learn from the silent guardians of Sydney’s Centennial Park? In this theatrical event you'll be taken on a 90-minute promenade of Centennial Park, where you’ll learn interesting historical facts and visit some secret spots in this vibrant park.

Head to Parramatta and spend time in nature with an Aboriginal traditional custodian, hear about plant uses, tools, local culture, and even develop your own bush skills, such as string making. This event is also kid-friendly, with a learning circle and a short, easy bushwalk suitable for all ages.

Like mushrooms? This workshop with ecologist Dr Alison Pouliot will take you into the fascinating world of all things fungi, including the basics of fungus identification, and the natural and cultural history of fungi. Includes a picnic lunch and a forage through the stunning Retford Park gardens.

See what early colonial life was really like with a trip to the Australiana Pioneer Village in Wilberforce. Buildings from the mid-1800s will spring to life, so you can seal a letter with hot wax at the Post Office, do a lesson in an old-school classroom, and even see a blacksmith at his forge.
