a bilby for easter – drawing & more workshop

Saturday 12 April 2025, 10.30am – 12.30pm at Kariong Eco Garden

Bilbies are a very endangered species and we believe the more we know, the more we care and then maybe more will be done to preserve our wilderness for all our native creatures.  We look forward to meeting and exploring the life and love of bilbies with you.

This workshop is for ALL AGES – Adults, young people and children.
Children must be accompanied by an adult.

We will be talking about bilbies, their habitat and what they like to eat.

What to bring: 

  • hat
  • water
  • fruit or other snack
  • hard copy images of bilbies if you can find some eg in books,
  • any toy bilbies you have
  • and drawing materials if you would like.
  • Rachel will also provide drawing materials and bilby images.

We will be meeting at 10.30am at the Eco Garden for a welcome and a brief nature walk.
Then, in the hall, we will learn about bilbies, and their habitat before you make your own picture.
