SUMMARY:National Film and Sound Archives - Special Free Event
DESCRIPTION:Open daily until 8 September 2024 at National Film and Sound Archive\, Acton. Admission is free. \nThe National Film and Sound Archive of Australia is staging a special event titled Ghost Trees : Promoting sustainability through audiovisual art. This is a unique audiovisual artwork currently showing in the NFSA Gallery space. \nGhost Trees invites viewers into an immersive experience of the endangered Rushworth Forest on the lands of the Ngurai-illam Wurrung people in Victoria. Using environmental data captured by the Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network\, Australian artists James McGrath and Gary Sinclair have created an immersive experience that invites us to connect with nature in a new way and reflect on our place in it and our impacts on it. \nThis installation reflects the NFSA commitment to curating powerful and thought-provoking audiovisual experiences where people can gather to learn\, reflect and be inspired to take action that moves us towards a more sustainable future. \nGhost Trees is open daily in the NFSA Gallery (10.00am to 4.00pm\, free admission) until 8 September 2024.

SUMMARY:Wattle We Call It? guided walks
DESCRIPTION:Wattles are acacias\, or are they? The first tree called a wattle in Australia is not an acacia at all. The acacias of Africa are no longer acacias. Many of the wattles have leaves that are not leaves. On this free guided walk\, hear about some of these paradoxes while visiting a variety of wattles in flower at this time of the year. \nThese one-hour walks will be held at 11am and 2pm each day from Sunday the 1st September until Sunday the 8th.   \nMeet at the clock near the Café bridge.  \nNo booking required for individuals but groups of more than six people should contact walks@friendsanbg.org.au a week before the planned walk.

SUMMARY:Dr Marita Bradshaw ‘The National Rock Garden – new location\, new rocks and new stories to tell’
DESCRIPTION:Marita\, steering committee member with the National Rock Garden\, will present an update on the expanded rock garden\, the stories it tells of the deep history of Australia and the recent move of the big rocks into Forest 13 at the National Arboretum Canberra. \nAbstract \n	The National Rock Garden (nationalrockgarden.com.au ) is gathering a collection of at least a hundred large iconic rocks from across our continent and other parts of Gondwana. The aim is to celebrate the geological heritage of Australia and to demonstrate how rocks have contributed to the nation’s landscapes\, heritage and prosperity. The new NRG site is rapidly taking shape in Forest 13 at the National Arboretum\, Canberra. Paths have been laid and big rocks moved from the former site and from storage to create a display of more than 20 giant specimens for Stage 1 of the project. The layout will be integrated with a complementary planting of Weeping Wilga trees (Geijera parviflora). \nBiography  \n	Dr Marita Bradshaw is a geologist with over 40 years of experience in government and industry. With Geoscience Australia\, ESSO Australia and WMC she worked to reveal the deep time story of Australia\, and how that has shaped our energy resources. Now\, with the wonderful team at the National Rock Garden (nationalrockgarden.com.au )\, she is working on growing this national institution to bring the geological heritage of Australia to a broader public. \nBooking Link: https://www.trybooking.com/CTFWO \nBooking\n	Lunchtime talks are held at 12.30 pm every Thursday from February to November. Talks last for 1 hour. We welcome donations by gold coins\, notes\, or electronically. The Friends use donations received at each talk to support Gardens’ programs and development and we thank all those who have donated.  \nUnless otherwise indicated\, talks are held in the ANBG Theatrette. \nIt is a good idea to reserve a seat at the talks that you wish to attend; talks may be booked out very quickly.  Bookings can be made from about 30 days in advance until the night before the talk or until seating limits are reached.  \nBooking Link: https://www.trybooking.com/CTFWO \nThe Friends of the ANBG thank the speakers who volunteer their time and talents to further the knowledge of all attending events in the Gardens.
