Making a Hawkesbury water book
Ten people took time out to reflect on their experience of the Hawkesbury in a workshop on this catchment's water, environments and stories at the University of Western Sydney's Earthcare Centre on 20 April 2012. The centre is a community place which often hosts friendly events with schoolkids, catchment stakeholders and gardening enthusiasts.
A longstanding initiative of UWS, Riverfarm, was a special focus in this workshop.

Jade admires Earthcare's garden
A diverse group of water and creek lovers - a mum and small business owner, a four year old girl, a group of UWS staff involved in sustainability initiatives, a sustainability systems expert, an Earthcare volunteer and a manager from WSROC's Water in the Landscape program - spent a couple of hours with words, paper, scissors and glue, making their own handmade book.
