(Sold Out) Walking History with Ian Tyrell

Join Historian Ian Tyrrell, on a walking tour of the historic site surrounding the Canterbury Sugarmill.

Within each space along the Cooks River Valley, there are many stories.

These stories tell how the landscape was altered, and how the natural world was changed along with the hopes and aspirations of those who knew the river.
