TAFE NSW Eora has been constantly buzzing with creative energy for over 30 years. TAFE NSW Eora is a vibrant, professional, community focused education centre focused on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander education and training while at the same time being completely welcoming of students from other backgrounds.
Just as these artworks are a journey of historical connection and self-discovery, this place invites visitors to explore a wealth of connected stories and experiences. King Street Wharf connects Darling Harbour to Barangaroo; the Waterfront to the Sydney CBD; Cockle Bay to the Harbour by ferry; and it connects workers to tourists to residents in its popular bars and restaurants. For far more than two centuries boats and canoes have connected these shores not only with the farthest reaches of the harbour, but up and down the coast and beyond.
First Nations Audio Narrative: With thanks to our Indigenous Cultural Advisors, Aunty Jo Selfe and Uncle Graham Toomey, and special contributors who have generously shared important stories of place. Listen to the First Nations Audio Narrative here.
