Cook up delicious First Nations treats in this school holiday workshop at Bribie Island Seaside Museum.
In collaboration with Bruce Phillips, proud Batjala man and founder of Murri Tukka, young people can explore elements of First Nations cuisine.
Bruce will deliver an engaging and educational workshop, where children will learn about local bush foods and participate in a hands-on program.
They will prepare delicious treats using well known and readily available bush foods, easy to replicate in the comfort of your own home.
Bruce's work shares thousand-year-old knowledge of how First Nations people would gather and prepare food, connecting land to plate through education and meal preparation with local bush ingredients.

Bribie Island Seaside Museum has engaged Elder Uncle Ron Powell to deliver a fun interactive nature sketch and drawing workshop for young people.
Uncle Ron has worked closely with young people as a community educator for many years, sharing his knowledge of all things natural. He is well versed from botany to geology and from maritime history through to First Nations culture.
Ron has collaborated with the Bribie Island Community Kindergarten to create and publish the popular children’s book Joondoburri Walk promoting children’s engagement with nature.

Join Queensland Holocaust Museum for a powerful and illuminating presentation by Abe Schwarz, founder of the William Cooper Legacy Project, as he brings to life the extraordinary story of one of Australia’s most courageous and visionary civil rights leaders.

The presentation will focus on Uncle William Cooper’s historic protest following Kristallnacht, a bold and compassionate act led by the Australian Aborigines’ League (AAL) in 1938. In an era of global silence, Cooper’s stand against Nazi persecution of Jews remains a landmark moment of moral clarity, uniting the histories of Aboriginal and Jewish resilience in an act of shared humanity.

This is more than a history lesson; it is a tribute to a man whose voice still echoes in today’s struggles for human rights. Don’t miss this opportunity to deepen your understanding of a legacy that continues to inspire generations.
