Monday 19th August….a beautiful, clear Djilba day….perfect to have Undalup’s Zac, Tamara and Rachelle facilitate another cultural awareness session for local families….with our classroom’s roof the sky and the forest all around. We are so fortunate to have Undalup Association with their generous shared knowledge of land, custom and associated important life lessons… for us to live sustainably and respectfully on Country… this diverse and bountiful area we are fortunate to all call home.
Monday’s session saw us identifying various plants in the forest and learning about their traditional uses… and provided opportunities to get hands on with various bush foods and medicines.
Thank you so much Zac, Tamara and Rachelle…we found your stories and shared knowledge very inspiring and so look forward to learning more from you all in the months and years ahead.
Please visit www.undalup.com for more information about the Wadandi people and Boodja (Country).
