Winner - 2024 IMAGinE Award
We are very excited to share that 11 Stories from the River Dyarubbin has won the 2024 IMAGinE Award - Engagement Programs - Small Organisations!
This is the second year running that Hawkesbury Regional Museum has won this award.
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 Dharug people and the enduring relationship that Dharug people have with Country; colonial settlement and frontier violence; farming, floods and famine; local ecology; use, development and sustainability; and much more.
11 Stories from the River Dyarubbin is a collaborative work led by composer and producer Oonagh Sherrard, with input from more than 80 participants - including Dharug Knowledge Holders, locals, experts, students, creatives and organisations.
Hawkesbury Regional Museum is proud to have partnered with Oonagh on this project.
