Makuru, the coldest and wettest time of the year has arrived. Traditionally, this was a good time of the year to move back inland from the coast as the winds turned to the west and south, bringing cold winds and rain.
Our first week of our Makuru season out at Rosa Brook was filled with sunshine not rain…although some puddllicious weather is now being experienced and we will add more photographs in a second blog post in the weeks ahead of our ever changing outdoor adventures…in line with the changing season and the interests of the children who attend our groups.
Creating various potions and paint, seeking out tracks and scats for Yonga (kangaroo) and other bush dwelling animals, discovering the first sundew (Drosera) and various fungi of the season and making ‘glue’ to create useful tools have been just some of our favourite themes in our first week.
