When folks say they're off to the Margaret River Region for a tree change they quite literally mean it! There aren’t too many places in @westernaustralia where you can zip through the forest canopy on up to 150 metre long flying foxes that are pure childhood fantasies come true. C'mon admit it, we all wanted one of these in our backyards as children!
​
​Luckily for big kids (and little kids above the age of 7) today @forestadventures_sw has 6 courses of varying difficulty (plus a training course) to get you the ultimate nature fix this winter. The park is open 7 days a week and bookings are essential so zip on over to their IG account and find out how to get swinging!

Makuru: The coldest and wettest time of the year, known as Fertility Season. Makuru brings the first heavy rains, and storms occur more frequently as Boodja (Country) cools down. Many local Noongar people moved to inland areas for shelter to escape the storms coming off the Southern Ocean. With the cold coastal winds prevailing, the Yonga Booka (kangaroo skin cloak) was turned inside out so that the fur was against the skin, while the outside was was oiled to provide waterproof protection against the rain.

Here on Wadandi Boodja we acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land we are on, the Wadandi (Saltwater) people. We respect their continuing culture, the deep connection and love for their country and the contribution they make to the life of this region.
