A special History Week event!

Addison Road Community Organisation is proud to present “Lost Waterways of the Inner West”: a free participatory event where you can explore, remember and re-imagine the vast network of often hidden waterways that still exert an influence on our environments and imaginations.

Lost Waterways of the Inner West includes:

– A look at the history of Gumbramorra Swamp in maps and images, by Sue Castrique, joint winner of the Nature Writing Prize for 2019.
– An exploration of the Cooks River as a lost-but-living waterway that continues to shape and be shaped by the Inner West community, by writer Alexander Wells.
– A survey of creative responses to the history and future of local waterways by public artist Graham Chalcroft.
– A slideshow of historic images of local waterways and an opportunity to map your own memories onto a collaborative community ‘memory landscape’.
