Did you know author and illustrator May Gibbs once lived in Claremont?

Loved by generations for her iconic gumnut babies, banksia men and more, May Gibbs spent part of her early life in the area.

The Town of Claremont's Freshwater Bay Museum are celebrating her life and work on the 1st of May from 1-3pm.

This free event will feature Snugglepot and Cuddlepie storytelling, wildflower face painting and gumnut craft activities. You can also meet some of May's descendants.

Freshwater Bay Museum is located at 66 Victoria Avenue Claremont (in the historic Freshwater Bay School).

All ages are welcome to this free event and no booking is required.
