Event Info:

Do you like looking at squiggly gums and listening to the morning magpies, grateful for the natural beauty of our neighbourhood?

Join acclaimed artists Callum Morton and Jen Berean and authors Darryl Jones and Dave Witty for a discussion and guided nature walk exploring our relationship with the natural world. The panel brings together diverse perspectives on art, ecology, and our shared environments with plants and animals.

This is a rare opportunity to hear creative and scientific minds in conversation about recently published books and upcoming public sculptures that celebrate and engage nature amid the evolving landscapes of Brimbank.
