The session was delivered by highly respected Aboriginal elder Col Hardy as well as Taronga Zoo’s education officer Ryan Dare. Col is an award-winning country singer and the first Aboriginal person to win a Golden Guitar at the Australasian Country Music Awards in Tamworth. He has a passion for passing on Aboriginal knowledge and culture to children, encouraging them to care for their country and its creatures.
During the session, children were treated to stories and songs by Col. They also had the chance to meet, learn about and pat native animals, such as a frog, a possum, a skink and a snake.
