Balmain Association – ‘Unearthed’ Australian Heritage Festival 2025.

Celebrate our ‘First Landscapes’ project launch and the Balmain Association’s 60th anniversary. Experience our ‘illuminating’ evening event and place activation of the Balmain Watch House. Join us as we begin an initiative in meaningful connection, reconciliation and regenerative placemaking.

First Landscapes is a commitment to reconciliation through community and country. The Balmain Association warmly invites you to share the beginning of this journey. Experience an evening of inspiration, storytelling, outdoor projections, and illuminated landscapes at the Balmain Watch House. Engage in a transformative conversation about revitalising our shared landscape into a healing native garden and symbolic place of community connection in Balmain-Baludarri.

Be inspired by engaging presentations sharing the history of the Watch House location. Explore the restored historic Balmain Watch House gallery space and connect with the Balmain Association community group. Meet community change-makers, creatives, environmental advocates, heritage experts and the local Indigenous community – all collaborating to share knowledge and ideas to revitalise, reconnect and regenerate the community through this significant placemaking project.
