Overview

Explore, discover and be inspired!

This workshop offers an inspiring blend of art, geology, and nature, a perfect outdoor experience for creative young minds. Beginning with an engaging guided walk through the National Rock Garden, children will discover remarkable rocks from across Australia and gather creative inspiration before designing their very own rock art masterpiece to keep.

Highlights include:

Guided Rock Garden Walk: Discover the beauty of the National Rock Garden's unique rock displays. Let the natural forms and colours fuel your creativity.

Take Home Your Art: By the end of the session, you'll have a collection of hand-painted rocks that reflect your creativity - a perfect keepsake or gift!

This activity is designed to be inclusive of varying abilities. The walk is wheelchair accessible with assistance, along a Grade 1 sloped pathway. The rock art is held in an accessible room with accessible bathroom facilities.
