Digging Up Deep Time

A hands’ on palaeontology experience for school students.

Unearth Parramatta’s distant past on this exciting journey into deep time. Students uncover what Parramatta was like over 200 million years ago, discover how the landscape was formed and how it, in turn, shaped the amazing critters that inhabited the area.

Learn how, in more recent times, the ancient foundations of Parramatta provided resources for Aboriginal inhabitants and settlers alike.

Participants will enjoy a rare opportunity to handle, study and elicit evidence from real fossils and draw conclusions about past environments from those remains.

This activity has been mapped to the Science and Geography syllabus for Stage 3 & 4. Strict number limits apply – please email to book.
