Performing at Greening Australia

Sunday 6 May - Centenary of Canberra planting event
Proudly hosted by the Centenary of Canberra Project

Plant a seedling at the Centenary of Canberra and Greening Australia community tree planting day and learn from Yurung Dhaura trainees some of the traditional aboriginal uses for the trees, grasses and shrubs being planted as part of the Lower Cotter rehabilitation project.
Be entertained by Love Sick Caravan - Canberra’s newest dixie-land band who will bring a touch of yesteryear to the Cotter. In addition, spoken word artist and poet Josh Inman, from Australia Poetry Limited, has accepted the challenge to perform a new work created on the day by seeking words from planters about the Lower Cotter region.
