Join us for a very special community festival weekend event in the Shire of Tammin! We will be celebrating 50 years of continuous trapdoor spider research started by the groundbreaking work of the late Professor Barbara York Main OAM. Her lifelong dedication unearthed invaluable scientific knowledge and produced award-winning writings on place, shining a light on these incredible beings and her own home in the wheatbelt.

There's plenty to keep you busy over the weekend, including exclusive documentary screenings, theatre, poetry, citizen science, workshops, special guest speakers, competitions, and interactive family activities. Don't miss out - it's worth leaving your burrow for this!

This event is dog-friendly. All profits go directly to the Bookend Trust charity to fund future trapdoor spider research.

This event will be held on unceded Balladong Noongar boodja. We acknowledge Elders of everywhen and pledge to be respectful while walking with Country in this place.
