On June 2, a free bush tucker session will be held at the Plaza Library in Werribee from 11am to midday, to teach participants about traditional food.

Cr Barlow said residents were also invited to attend the library on Thursday May 31 from 6.30pm to 7.30pm, to hear from Rowena Price as she shares her story of discovering her hidden Aboriginal heritage.
