Museum celebrates new canoe project – all welcome!
15 November 2023
Hawkesbury Regional Museum will proudly celebrate an important community project called Bangadyi Nawi on Saturday, 18 November 2023 at 11am at Hawkesbury Regional Museum, 8 Baker Street, Windsor. All welcome!
Bangadyi Nawi was a community project between Hawkesbury Regional Museum, the Dharug community and Brewongle Environmental Education Centre. The project has provided a transformative experience for local Aboriginal high school students who created a traditional canoe during an inter-generational camp, led by Elder Uncle Dean Kelly and with Uncle David Payne and Dharug Educator Erin Wilkins.

As a new exhibit, the canoe project will offer learning opportunities for the whole community.
The celebration will begin with a Welcome to Country by Erin Wilkins, an official opening at 11:30am by the Deputy Mayor, Councillor Barry Calvert of the canoe exhibit as part of the Museum’s permanent exhibitions. The canoe will be proudly displayed in front of the exhibition area of the Museum.
