Bogong Moths

with Deanne Gilson

NGV Kids on Tour 2025

Dr Deanne Gilson is a proud Wadawurrung woman living on her ancestral Country of Ballarat. Her art is about her culture and looking after the environment. One of the stories she draws and paints is about the bogong moth.

In this activity children receive a paper template of the Australian bogong moth to make their own paper moth. While drawing eyes and patterns, discover the interesting facts about this special Australian insect, how it avoids predators, and its important place in our incredible natural environment.

This workshop is strictly for ages 5 to 11 years old.
This activity will be facilitated by a Mildura Arts Centre staff member.
NGV Kids on Tour is an initiative of the National Gallery of Victoria. NGV extends sincerest thanks to Event Partner Officeworks, for their generous support of NGV Kids exhibitions and programs.
The Box Office can be contacted on 03 5018 8330 between 10am - 4pm, daily with any enquiries.
