Event description
Join us for St George-Canterbury's first Resilience Walk! Come as a family to walk from historic Tempe House to Girrahween Park, following Wolli Creek and stopping along the way to hear stories of Resilience and Survival. You will learn about Aboriginal warriors and custodians who cared for the waters and land, Chinese market gardeners, and mangroves, trees and bats! A rare opportunity to get a new perspective on the place you live, and to meet your neighbours. Tickets cover historian fees and a BBQ at Girrahween Park!
For those who can't do the morning walk, we have added an afternoon walk back from the BBQ to Wolli Creek - so you can join us from 12.30pm for the BBQ instead.
