    Event description

    The Snowy Mountains is home to the headwaters of the Snowy, Murray and Murrumbidgee Rivers yet the delicate alpine ecosystem that supports these vital water sources is being trampled. The alpine area that covers only 0.01 of Australia's inhabited land mass is under threat from a combination of the impacts of feral animals, artificial water flows and climate change.

    Where The Water Starts reveals how this fragile alpine region, particularly Kosciuszko National Park, the largest in the Australian Alps is seen by a number of Indigenous and non-Indigenous people who were born or live in the southern mountains area, or who care deeply about it.

    The screening will run from 6.00PM to 7.20PM followed by a panel discussion with the following speakers:

    Elle Davidson – Aboriginal Planning Lecturer, University of Sydney

    Michael Mossman - Associate Dean Indigenous and Lecturer in Architecture, University of Sydney

    Olivia Hyde - Director of Design Excellence, Government Architect NSW

    Richard Swain - Indigenous Ambassador, Invasive Species Council and the main protagonist of Where the Water Starts

    Mandy King & Fabio Cavadini – Filmmakers of Where the Water Starts

    Co-presented by School of Architecture, Design & Planning Film Studies Program, School of Literature, Art and Media 

    Bar from 5:30pm
