Kambarang - Noongar Six Seasons With Marrissa Verma (expired event)

Join us at Banks Reserve as Marissa Verma leads a walk along the Derbal Yirrgan (Swan River)

Marissa Verma will lead this Noongar Six Season session hosted by the City of Vincent. She will share information about the Noongar season, Kambarang and how local people traditionally lived during this time of the year.

Kambarang is the wildflower season with many yellow flowers, orchids, kangaroo paws and banksias in bloom. Even the Balgas will flowers, especially if they have been burnt in the past year. One of the most striking displays of flowers at this time of year is the Mooja or Australian Christmas Tree, whose bright orange/yellow flowers signal that heat is on its way.

As many things are undergoing transformation with the warm change in the weather and longer dry periods, October is a time of the year you are most likely to encounter a snake. Reptiles at this time are emerging from hibernation and look to make the most of the warm weather to assist them in getting enough energy to look for food.

Please meet outside of the Banks Reserve Pavilion and bring your hat, water and sunscreen.

Bush catering will be provided by Marissa.

To ensure fairness and safety to our facilitator and community members, numbers are strictly limited and you must reserve a place through Eventbrite to attend. We appreciate your understanding.
