Join us for a guided walk through Piney Lakes Reserve with Rickeeta Walley, as we explore the Noongar season of Bunuru, the season of adolescence. This season, typically from February to March, is the hottest time of the year, characterized by dry weather, little rain, and cool winds in the afternoons.

Meeting at the front of the City of Melville EcoHub (formerly Piney Lakes Environmental Education Centre), your journey begins with a relaxed walk through the Reserve. There will be plenty of stops for yarning and questions, as Rickeeta shares insights on the cultural significance of the land, the six seasons, and the traditional uses of native plants.

Due to the popularity of this event, if you cannot make it please cancel your ticket so that others can attend.
