Work your way through the museum with our children’s treasure hunt, explore the mangrove boardwalk (watch out for local sealife!) and feed the fish in the pond. Fun for kids of all ages, rain, hail or shine. School groups are always welcome, too!

In December 2019,the Aboriginal Culture, Heritage & Arts Association (ACHAA) presented a posthumous award for excellence to Hubert ‘Laddie’ Timbery (1941-2019) for outstanding contribution to Aboriginal arts, culture and heritage in New South Wales.
