Campfire, Cooking and Culture - Nearer to Nature

Looking for something different these school holidays? Join Nearer to Nature and the Shire of Mundaring for a unique outdoor experience that fosters a deeper connection to Country. Gather around the karla (campfire) to cook damper, take on a discovery challenge using symbolic clues, and explore Indigenous knowledge of the land with a cultural educator. Along the way, create a natural bush remedy and begin to uncover the stories held within the landscape, who has walked here before you? Finish the day by the fire, relaxing, sharing stories, and enjoying good food together. This is a drop off activity.
