About this event

  • Event lasts 1 hour 30 minutes

Unpack the history of our Hawkesbury region and learn how our own stories can fit in and be shared.

Guided by our Museum educators, students will be taken through a tour of the Museum displays and spend time learning about the history of the site. We will then spend time creating our own Story Maps that capture our own histories using collage and drawing techniques.


All materials provided.


Suitable for primary school students aged 5 - 12 years.

Organized by

Hawkesbury Regional Museum is located in one of our country’s oldest settlements—the third on mainland Australia after Sydney and Parramatta. Here you can see things you won’t find anywhere else, from the celestial globe that belonged to John Tebbutt, an internationally-renowned astronomer who lived his whole life in the Hawkesbury, to the diary kept by a member of HMAS Hawkesbury during World War II and recording the Japanese surrender. Not to mention that uniquely Hawkesbury creation, the flabbit.
