Discovering the connection between country & culture

Local community members are invited to take part in the free upcoming Walking the Seasons sessions across the Limestone Coast.

The first of the six sessions will be held at Canunda National Park on Wednesday, March 5.

Walking the Seasons is a collaborative project delivered by the Limestone Coast Landscape Board and Burrandies Aboriginal Corporation and is inspired by the region’s First Nations Seasonal Calendar, which provides a base to record changes through the year in a specific area of the landscape.

This year will provide an opportunity for community members to become part of this unique program and attend a walking session at various locations across the Limestone Coast with the interactive experience providing cultural learning about our local landscape.

Led by a Traditional Owner, the cultural knowledge and expertise shared make this unique program an interesting experience for all ages.

Landscape educator for the Limestone Coast Landscape Board Mel Holtz said creating awareness of First Nations’ cultural heritage in the region was important.

“Establishing a link between Country and culture offers the community an opportunity to better understand the landscape through a First Nations lens,” she said. “Providing purposeful interactive experiences in our local landscape is important for community. It is an opportunity for the community to learn from and appreciate the important connections taking place in our landscape.”

Limestone Coast Landscape Board and Burrandies Aboriginal Corporation encourage all community members to take advantage of these free sessions being offered across the region in 2025.
