Join a relaxed guided walk through Piney Lakes Reserve with Rickeeta Walley as you explore Bunuru, the Noongar season of adolescence. This season is marked by the flowering of Gum, Marri, and Jarrah trees and is known as the hottest and driest time of the year.
Local birds are especially active, feeding on ripe nuts and seeds from jacaranda, sheoak, and native trees. The walk includes plenty of stops for yarning and questions, offering insights into the cultural significance of the land and traditional uses of native plants.
This event welcomes all ages and encourages respect for each other and the environment.
The walk lasts approximately one hour, starting promptly at 15:00 with a short introduction at the front of the EcoHub. Participants should wear weather-appropriate clothing including long pants, comfortable enclosed footwear, sunscreen, a hat, and bring a water bottle.
The walk is mostly outdoors on hard surfaces with some uneven ground, so it may not be suitable for some walking aids. Caregivers are responsible for the health and safety of their children at all times.
Due to the event’s popularity, please cancel your ticket if you are unable to attend to allow others to participate.
