Join Angela Foley from the Merri Creek Management Committee (MCMC) for a fun and interactive session celebrating the fascinating creatures that call the Birrarung home.

Through engaging storytelling, Angela will share the remarkable true stories behind some of the river's most iconic wildlife, including the elusive platypus, the incredible short-finned eel and other amazing aquatic species.

Then it's your turn to become part of the story! Choose your favourite Birrarung creature and have it beautifully painted on your hand while learning more about its unique lifestyle and life cycle.

Perfect for children and families, this playful session encourages curiosity, creativity and a deeper appreciation for the wonderful wildlife that lives in and around the Birrarung.

Come along to listen, learn and wear your favourite river creature with pride!
