About the Exhibition:
11 Stories from the River Dyarubbin is a series of self-guided audio walks, sharing stories specific to 11 different locations along the banks of Dyarubbin (the Hawkesbury River). Underscored by original music, the audio walks are designed to inspire, inform and deepen the listener’s experience of the river. They include stories of the Dharug people and their enduring relationship with Country; colonial settlement and frontier violence; farming, floods and famine; local ecology; use, development and sustainability; and more.
11 Stories from the River Dyarubbin is a collaborative work led by composer and producer Oonagh Sherrard in partnership with Hawkesbury Regional Museum, with input from more than 80 participants – including Dharug Knowledge Holders, locals, experts, students, creatives and organisations.
