Where Ya Goin'? A creative workshop with Steve Heron

Take a wild and whimsical adventure through the Australian outback in this fun-filled writing workshop for kids. Celebrate the magic of friendship and explore the quirky world of outback animals. Get ready to follow Echidna’s journey with a big bag of marshmallows in his rickety old bus. Unleash your creativity and imagination as you discover the joys of storytelling! Have a blast writing humorous stanzas about the most lovable Aussie creatures, based on Steve’s beloved “Where Ya Goin’?” illustrated by Matty Mitchell.

This workshop is best suited for children aged 5-10 and their grown-ups. Please note that all children aged under 12 must be accompanied by a guardian. Each ticket includes entry for one child and their guardian. You will be emailed with details about where to go for your workshop prior to the day.
