Here on Sea Country at Rosny Library

This session is for children, parents, and grandparents looking for a fun and educational session featuring a reading - plus hands-on activities celebrating Tasmania Aboriginal culture!

Here On Sea Country, launched in 2024, is a bright and joyful picture book that invites families to explore Palawa culture together. Through stories of shell necklace making, muttonbirding, basket weaving, and caring for sea Country, children can discover the beauty of everyday traditions.

Created with Elder Aunty Verna Nichols, Palawa authors Kylie Dickson, Leanne Pelikan, Christina Schleich, and Nicole Smith, and talented students from Flinders Island and Cape Barren Island schools, this special book shares the deep connection between people, land, and sea-and the magic of passing knowledge from one generation to the next.

Join the Aboriginal Education team for a fun, hands on learning experience linked to the Here on Sea Country picture book.
