Join us for our annual mid-winter Soup and Film night at the Tramshed. - warm up with hearty homemade soups and fresh bread while watching this unique film.

'Where The Water Starts' is a film that reveals how the fragile alpine region, particularly Kosciuszko National Park, is seen by a number of Indigenous and non-Indigenous people who were born or live in the southern mountains area, or who care deeply about it. The Snowy Mountains are home to the headwaters of the three rivers - Snowy, Murray, and Murrumbidgee. These vital water sources are now threatened by the combination of impacts caused by feral animals, artificial water flows, and climate change.

.The film reflects on their ideas around caring for Country, as a shared responsibility of all Australians where Aboriginal connection and regenerative land practices can work together for a better future for the alpine environment and protect the 34 threatened native species and their habitats in this vital ecosystem.
