Come and explore
HAVE you have wanted to try wattle tea or try your hand at basket weaving?
Now is your chance, with the Mt Leura and Mt Sugarloaf Management Committee’s family friendly ‘come and explore day’ on Sunday.
The free event will be held at Mt Leura from 1pm to 3.30pm.
Committee of management chairperson Caroline Duynhoven said two local Indigenous people will be running three of the workshops on the day.
“One workshop is indigenous basket weaving, and we have indigenous tool uses and the last one is on indigenous food and their uses,” she said.
“We will be having wattle tea for afternoon tea as well.
“There’s also a guided walk people can go on and at the end afternoon tea will be supplied.”
The basket weaving workshop run by Sandra Aitkin will run from 1pm to 3pm, with the indigenous tools and indigenous foods workshops led by Brett Clarke running from 1.30pm to 2pm and 2.30pm to 3pm respectively.
The guided walk through the reserves will run from 2pm to 3pm.
Each activity has a maximum of 20 participants, with booking available by contacting Friends of Mt Leura member Graham Arkinstall on 0418 377 293.
Anyone interested in helping to set up are asked to head down to the Lower Shelter, located at the base of Mt Leura at 11am.
