RIVER STORIES along Karrawirra Pari * (Torrens River)
Karrawirra Pari has always been a place of gathering, of ceremony and deep celebration. Kaurna people believed the river was a reflection of the Milky Way because the bright stars on the edge were thought to be the campfires on the side of the river.
Our journey will take us through the layers of history, connecting to the people, plants and animals that have called this place home.
Perfect for all ages, this participatory outdoor event invites you to walk the banks of Karrawirra Pari, the flowing heart of our city, and learn stories of the past and what is happening now to keep the river healthy.
Begin at the Rotunda in Elder Park, where you will meet your River Guide and form smaller groups.
We all have a river story. What's yours?
*‘karra’- redgum, ’wirra’ - forest, ‘pari’ - river.
