Astronomy Workshop with Koori Kinnections (Ages 8-12)

Look up! The night sky is full of stories.

Join Trent Kelly from Koori Kinnections for a fun, hands-on workshop exploring how Aboriginal people read the stars to know when to hunt, gather food, and travel.

Hear the story of the Three Boys and their Canoe (Orion’s Belt), make a small nawi (paperbark canoe) to take home, and learn how the stars can guide us on Country today.

This event is for children aged 8–12 only. Participants who are not within this age range will not be permitted into the event.

Interpreting Sky Country: First Nations Astronomy Talk

Interpreting Sky Country: First Nations Astronomy Talk

Join us for an immersive one-hour journey into the night sky!

Presented by Koori Kinnections’ Cultural Educator Trent Kelly, this session explores the night sky – not merely as a canopy of stars, but as a living map, a record of time, seasons, and culture. From the perspectives of Australia’s First Peoples, the skies have long guided food gathering and hunting, defined the seasons and told stories of people, animals and country.
