Launched the Jarjums
Connections Pilot Program
to assist pre-school children
to learn about Aboriginal
culture through movement
and storytelling.
The Jarjums Connections Program
links children to three significant
animals in Aboriginal culture –
the burra (eel), wirriga (goanna)
and gawura (whale) – through a
storybook, culturally adapted yoga
poses, music, art and resources.
Officially launched the Canterbury Hospital
Aboriginal Cultural Garden, celebrating the
Bediagal people of the EORA Nation.
The Bediagal Clan have lived along the banks and
surrounds of the Cooks River since time immemorial and
there is still a strong Aboriginal community in the area.
The ochre and blue designs on the
floor of the garden represent the
Cooks River and land upon which
the Bediagal people lived. The
garden will consist of native plants
and a plaque with a brief history of
land of the Bediagal people.
