NAIDOC Week presentation, Bushland Creations and Dance presented by Yirra Tours

Green Valley Library will be closed for renovations from Monday 22 June to Saturday 27 June. They will reopen Monday 29 June

Explore the beauty of Australia’s native flora, fauna, and Indigenous culture through three hands-on activities.

Bush Banksia Creative Experience

Using natural materials like gum leaves, shells, seeds, and natural fibres children will craft unique figures inspired by native animals and bush landscapes. This tactile activity nurtures creativity, environmental awareness, and a love for our diverse wildlife.

Gum Leaf Storytelling Art

Children will tell their own stories through art, using gum leaves as their canvas. Share places they admire, habitats they connect with, and animals they feel drawn to.  Indigenous symbols will be used also to enhance their understanding of indigenous culture and the significance of certain symbols in representing various aspects of nature, identity, and storytelling. This activity provides an engaging way to learn about the interconnectedness of culture, nature, and art.

Ending with a Traditional Indigenous Dance session, where children will learn simple movements and rhythms, celebrating culture through music and movement.

Together, these activities foster creativity, cultural awareness, and respect for the land in a fun and meaningful way.

Presented by Kirra Court from the Bundjalung Nation of the Tweed Region living in Sydney. She has a wealth of knowledge about Aboriginal culture, history and heritage from her family and community.
