As part of our July School Holiday and NAIDOC Week program we invite you to join us for this Dharug Cultural Presentation with Aunty Leanne.
The Dharug people are Parramatta’s first people and the traditional custodians of this land. Parramatta’s name comes from their word “Baramada”, meaning “the place of eels”. Dharug people have cared for Country since time immemorial. Presented by Aunty Leanne, this program is an opportunity to gain insight to Dharug Language, Story, food and Culture and how you too can also care for Country.
