Tours of the Living Heritage Centre

Learn about Australia’s environmental history and the changing approaches to land management. The ancient Greek legend of Cornucopia is woven into the tour to illustrate how we have regarded nature as a source of endless bounty. The tour outlines the consequences of this interpretation and the need for us to rethink our relationship with our unique environment.
