[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_column_text]Join SWIC on a 200th Birthday Springtime walking tour of the Royal Botanic Garden – a journey through the first 200 years of its history as a Botanic Garden by the Harbour.
Our tour ends at the site of the 32nd Kaldor Public Art Project by Wiradjuri/Kamilaroi artist Jonathan Jones. Barrangal dyara (skin and bones) is a vast sculptural installation stretching across 20,000 square metres of the Royal Botanic Gardens. Thousands of ceramic shields will echo the masses of rubble – the only remnants of the 19th century Garden Palace building after fire. A native kangaroo grassland will form the heart of the installation which will be activated and enlivened by presentations of Indigenous language, performances, talks, special events and workshops each day.
