Pinjarra Festival
We wanted you to know that, following the easing of some COVID-related restrictions, The Shire of Murray’s biggest public event of the year, the LiveLighter Pinjarra Festival WILL take place this year. Barring any significant changes in the public health advice, we’ll be back in the beautiful grounds of the iconic Edenvale Heritage Precinct and its surrounds, on Saturday 4th and Sunday 5th June which is the Western Australia Day long weekend. We’ll have a full stack of music, more than 100 market stalls, free kids’ activities, displays, workshops, amusements and more. We’ve got much less time to organise it than in previous years because of the impacts of COVID-19, but the team are working flat out to bring the event to life, and we’ll keep this page updated as more details become available. For now though, mark your diaries; the LiveLighter Pinjarra Festival is BACK and we can’t wait to see you in June.
Family Nature Day (5 June)
Our next Family Nature Day will coincide with World Environment Day! To celebrate, we have organised some very special activities for the afternoon that all raise awareness towards protecting our planet and how to live cleaner, greener and more sustainably. Some highlights include:
- Wildlife warrior, ornithologist and all-round eco legend Simon Cherriman will be at the centre to launch his new book ‘Hollowed Out’, where you can grab a copy and have it signed by the author himself!
- ‘Containers for Change’ drive – save up and bring in your recyclable cans and bottles to dispose in our bin. Ten cents from every container will gratefully go towards the WA Gould League, raising funds for our non-for-profit organisation and its educational programs. As an added incentive, donors go into a draw to win a special prize!
- Jake Bamford, of Dapper Cranium Studios, will be hosting a gameplay session of ‘Bin-Off’, his exciting new recycling card game that teaches kids how to properly sort rubbish.
There will also be some fun recycled projects and crafts to make, hands-on aquatic scooping, guided nature walks, interactive exhibits and our resident animals, the book/gift shop (with a new line of enviro cleaning products!) and of course yummy bakery treats and barista-made beverages from our coffee window Twitchers. What a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon! Bookings are essential. Entry is $10 per person, $30 per family or FREE for Friends of the WA Gould League. Please note a COVID event plan will be in place – physical distancing, sanitization measures, proof of vaccination, contact registers and increased indoor ventilation will be in place, with the majority of the event held outdoors in open space. Can’t wait to see you there!
All proceeds of the Family Nature Day go towards ongoing nature education & community initiatives.

Rising Lotus
Featured at the first ever Coogee Live ‘Rising Lotus’ by Tom Muller is a captivating light and sculptural art installation at Omeo Park, North Coogee. This was a crowd favourite in the inaugural Coogee live so don’t miss your chance to revisit this ephemeral piece again! Tom Muller discusses how Rising Lotus is about the dichotomy of East and West and how we integrate them, “The works are also to do with the polarity of ideas, like travel and escape. All the objects take you to a place, some way or other. We look to the East for internal peace which is contrasted with the West’s ambitiousness.”
Long Weekend Planting Event
Join the City of Rockingham, Perth NRM and the Green S Welfare Force during the June long weekend, and help us plant over 4000 native coastal seedlings at Palm Beach. Meet at Rotary Park beachfront, 49 Esplanade, Rockingham. Please bring enclosed shoes, hat, water bottle, gloves and sun protection. Wet weather gear advised if rain is forecast.

Does your child love to collect nature stuff? This very special workshop will get explore the art you can make from nature. In this all half day class, kids will learn how to make paint from natural materials and paint a nature inspired painting. Children will go crazy with clay as they imagine and create a wild creature and their place they live. They will also make a wall hanging using natural materials including leaves, fibres, wood, dyed string, shells and much more. This workshop will develop children’s problem solving, creativity and appreciation of the natural world. Not only will your kid learn some new art skills they will also grow their appreciation of nature. They will explore how they can adopt a growth mindset and look at natural objects as part of making and creating. Children will learn patience and perseverance as they use natural objects to make their creative ideas take shape. We also give them tips and tricks to build their resilience to tackle problems, mistakes or bounce forward when things go wrong or they are being challenged. At the end of this class, kids will be left feeling creatively fulfilled, and armed with new skills to be able to create within the natural world. Your child will also get to take home their final pieces so that you can hang them on the wall in your home. This workshop is part of our NEW pop up Makuru Magic series in June.
