Heritage Festival: The Greenway and Long Cove Creek Guided Walk

The newly connected Greenway path passes through an extraordinary urban landscape with dense local history. It is an ecological corridor as well as an active transport route and outdoor classroom. Join us on this tour exploring the complex relationships between our society, the biodiversity corridor, the often-hidden Long Cove Creek, and the surrounding and evolving built environment.

This event is organised by the Ashfield and District Historical Society (ADHS).
