“Same Landscape, Different Perspectives” Hiking Series
"Same Landscape, Different Perspectives" Hiking Series
On Wednesday, Team Down Under had the distinct privilege of leading 14 passionate nature enthusiasts on the final walk of our Same Landscape, Different Perspectives series, in partnership with Visit Mandurah and the City of Mandurah.
Our journey took us along the beautiful Joseph and Dulcie Nannup Trail, a peaceful riverside route rich in natural beauty and cultural significance. We began our walk at the Pinjarra Bridge end, exploring the tranquil boardwalks and serene riverside hideaways, including the bird hide. Waangaamaap Bilya, or the Serpentine River, has been a vital place for the local Binjareb Noongar people, serving as a spot for fishing, crossing, and gathering.
It was a true honor to guide our group through this culturally meaningful and scenic area.
It was a perfect Autumn day, with participants engaging in a variety of mindful activities, including nature drawing, journaling, forest bathing invitations, and nature meditation.
To wrap up our walk, we indulged in a delightful bush tucker morning tea, featuring lemon myrtle biscuits, finger lime bliss balls, fresh berries, and Warndu tea with unique Australian flavors like Davison Plum & Lemon Myrtle and Quandong & Anise Myrtle.
We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to the Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries for their hiking participation grant and to the City of Mandurah team for funding this final walk.
Special thanks also go to Rebecca at Visit Mandurah for their collaboration on all of our walks and to Zion Coach Services for providing transportation for our guests.
Spending time in nature provides a wealth of benefits, and we thoroughly enjoyed educating, inspiring, and guiding our guests through the process.
We’re excited to continue fostering connections with nature and our community, and we look forward to more upcoming walks in the near future. Stay tuned for what’s next!
