Aboriginal story telling with Larry Brandy

As part of our Enlighten Festival program, Wiradjuri man Larry Brandy invited children to become kangaroos, emus or hunters while learning about traditional Aboriginal culture.

This activity was suitable for children aged 3-10 years old, and parents and carers were more than welcome to join in too.

Larry used real artefacts as well as animal masks as a way of involving children in his performance.

This event was a fantastic place to start your family’s night at Enlighten.

Attendees were invited to stay after the presentation to enjoy our community picnic, face painting, art and craft activities and giant games, or grab a bite to eat at our food stalls while the kids were entertained for free.

This event was also run on 9 March.
