The Warrane Street Walk

The Warrane Street Walk is a companion resource to the Garuwanga Gurad program.

Available as downloadable PDF files in teacher and student versions, it links several significant 19th century Aboriginal history sites around Circular Quay, also known as Warrane by Sydney Aboriginal people.

The first page of the teacher version provides a map indicating five key sites, A4 images, brief background information and discussion questions.

The student version is a double-sided sheet and includes limited information and discussion questions. The questions are linked to the themes of the Garuwanga Gurad program.
