Hi everyone,

As part of our history unit, we are looking into Indigenous Culture. To help with our research, we went to Cranbourne Gardens.

I was so excited because it was my first excursion in about 2 years.

Our tour guide’s name was Steve, his ancestors lived on the land and they were Aboriginal and so was he, so he was allowed to do welcome to country. We learnt about lots of different plants, tools and language groups. At the end we went on a scavenger hunt which was very fun and then we played on an amazing playground.

At Cranbourne gardens we learnt about different tools, languages and plants such as a spear launcher which made it easier for Aboriginals to throw the spear, things like ball launchers that people get for their dog/dogs are designed like the spear launcher.

 

Have you ever been to Cranbourne gardens?
