The Murama Healing Space at Sydney Olympic Park is a place to share and celebrate Aboriginal understandings of the area. The BirdLife Discovery Centre and Murama are neighbours - we are going to introduce you to the waterbirds on the mural outside the Murama Centre. How are they adapted for their lives around the Parramatta River and the Sydney Olympic Park wetlands? How can we help protect them? We shall look at beaks and feet, their wings and flight, what they eat, their nests and young. We shall look at our local White-bellied Sea-Eagles on their nest hidden nearby, with our live EagleCAM. We shall encourage the children to record what they see and discover when they visit the Parklands or in their local area.

Students will need pencils and paper to participate in this workshop.

The Meet Our Feathered Neighbours workshop ticket includes access to the afternoon shows.
