Discover the Indigenous heritage of Parramatta, on Darug Country.
Join us on Darug Country for a family-friendly celebration of eel season, when the Burramuttagal would gather to feast and share stories.
We’ll start with a welcome ceremony and a corroboree with Nulungu Dreaming. Try traditional practices such as weaving and painting your own boomerang and learn the Darug language. Drop into the yarning circle to hear Uncle Wes Marne tell Dreaming stories, and don’t miss wandering through the beautiful work Healing land, remembering Country by renowned Kuku Yalanji artist Tony Albert.
You can also look around the homestead and join curator Dr Jacqui Newling to discover how colonists prepared and ate eels.
