Bats, Birds and Beasties

Tuesday April 12

Riverside Theatres, Parramatta

The Parramatta River is the lifeblood of the city for a surprising array of creatures with fur, fins, feathers or scales. Learn about them, and maybe even meet some, on this fascinating walk along the river. Expect fun, animal-themed games and plenty of exercise. The perfect antidote to screen time and social isolation!

Children will consider why some native animals continue to thrive here, while others have disappeared. Playing Bird Bingo they will discover the features of a variety of woodland and waterbirds. The secrets of echolocation and the life cycle of Parramatta’s iconic eels will also be revealed.

This program is suitable for primary school-aged children. Carers may also attend, but must supervise any younger children in their care.
