Georges River Council is inviting the community to get involved in its upcoming Australian Heritage Festival events.
The National Trust’s Australian Heritage Festival will run between Thursday 18 April and Sunday 19 May across the state, with the theme of ‘Connections’, acknowledging the link between people, places and the past.
This year, Georges River Council is holding a series of events to celebrate the Festival, which will connect the community to the rich and vibrant heritage of the Georges River area.
This includes a tour of the old Tudor House in MacMahon Street, Historical Georges River Cruise, Carss Bush Park Walking Tour and more.
“I welcome all members of our community and visitors to attend and enjoy these upcoming events, acknowledging the history of Georges River,” said Georges River Council Mayor, Sam Elmir.
“These events are a great opportunity to bring the community together across our local government area, linking with the overarching theme of ‘Connections’.
“I can’t wait to see our community getting involved and hope all who participate learn something new about the rich heritage of our area.”
Nominations are also now open for Council’s Historical Markers Program throughout the period. Launched in 2018, the program recognise people and places of historical and cultural importance as recommended by the local community.
Nominations close on Sunday 19 May 2024. Information sessions will be held for the community to learn more about the program.
