Come on down to the "Ask Aunty" session where you'll find local illustrator Charmaine Ledden-Lewis ready to guide you through a fun-filled adventure of reading and drawing. You'll discover a deeper bond with our legendary land, bubbling waters, and endless skies, all inspired by her collaborations with Aunty Munya Andrews on the Ask Aunty books. And guess what? You'll be among the first to catch a glimpse of Charmaine and Aunty Munya's new book, which gives you the lowdown on bush survival skills. Plus, you can't miss the chance to throw some paint on a giant collaborative mural that will honour the local Dharug seasons. Talk about adding a splash of colour to your day.

But wait, there's more for the kiddos. They'll be entertained by Cheryl Leavy, the brains behind "Yanga Mother," which is a delightful and poetic nod to motherhood and First Nations languages. So, whether you're a budding artist, a nature enthusiast, or just someone who enjoys a good yarn, come along for a morning of creativity and connection. It's free, but if you feel like tossing a coin into the donation jar, that'd be as welcome as a cup of tea on a chilly day. Just remember, no need to bring your camping gear for bush survival—the pros will handle that part.
