  • 2 hours

Listen to stories about the cultural significance of the local seasons of Hobsons Bay and how it can inspire our life, work and play. Join Willie Pepper (Community Liaison Manager, Boonwurrung Land & Sea Council) and Matt Sykes (Founder, Regeneration Projects) as we celebrate the traditional season of Paree/Pree Spring (August & September) with a walk on Country, around Jawbone Reserve, Williamstown

Willie and Matt have worked together with communities around Nair / Port Phillip Bay in raising awareness about the opportunities that combining Indigenous and western ecological knowledge can create. As a duo, Willie brings his deep experience in reconciliation and down to earth communication style, while Matt draws upon his background in landscape architecture and international experiences.

Together, we'll listen, learn and laugh.
