Lets join together and connect, learn and grow.

The Gather & Grow project invites you to join Tracie, and other Community House staff, on a free bus trip to visit the GATHAA First Nation Markets. Each month the market moves location across Gubbi Gubbi and Jinibara Country, creating a space for connection, creativity, and community.

The September GATHAA Bushfoods and Botanicals Market is held at Mooloolah River Landcare Native Nursery at Glenview, about 30 minutes away.

"Join Aunty Dale Chapman – the Bushfood Queen and her Bushtucka Bestie for a hands-on bushfood workshop where she will yarn up and prepare something tantalising with native Australian ingredients. Plus, don’t miss Uncle Bruce Phillips from Murri Tucker sharing his deep knowledge in a Bushfood & Foraging Yarn." gathaamarkets.com.au
