A series of seasonal community walking events celebrating connection to Country and cultural knowledge are scheduled to continue in 2026.
Designed to be inclusive and accessible, the seasonal walks are a great way for community members of all ages and abilities to come together for guided walks aligned with the changing seasons. Each walk offers an opportunity to connect with nature, deepen cultural understanding of the local landscape and learn about the First Nations seasonal calendar.
Since its launch to the Limestone Coast community in 2025, Walking the Seasons has attracted participants from a range of diverse backgrounds, fostering a strong sense of belonging and encouraging people to experience familiar landscapes in new ways.
“Walking the Seasons provides a space for a deeper connection to our local landscape, often creating a meaningful experience through shared cultural learning and activities,” said Mel Holtz, Limestone Coast Landscape Board Educator.
Looking ahead in 2026
Building on the success of the previous community walks, Walking the Seasons will return in 2026.
The first walk will be on Tuesday 20 January at Penambol Conservation Park for Shell and Wattle Seed time with special guest Bryan Haywood, Senior Ecologist from Nature Glenelg Trust presenting with Uncle Doug Nicholls from Burrandies Aboriginal Corporation.
