Upcoming Events
Winter Camp &
Busy Bee
Saturday, 5th July – Thursday, 10th July
Let’s celebrate nature and community by reconnecting with the land that was bestowed to us to care for from Saturday, July 5th, until Thursday, July 10th.
Marjan and Rod are organising this event with support from other tribal grounds subcommittee members.
Planned busy bee activities include planting, weeding, filling sandbags, along with plant talks, fun activities, art, circles, fires, walks, and excursions to the Donnelly River and/or nearby Bibbulman track. Like summer camp, this will be a relaxing week and people are welcome to contribute in whatever way they feel comfortable.
Ephemeral Art Workshop for the Winter Solstice
Saturday, 21st June – Sunday, 22nd June
We enjoyed creating at the Tribal Grounds so much, we have decided to have a follow up Ephemeral Art weekend on the 21st and 22nd of June, and celebrate the Winter Solstice.
We’ll use what we have on hand and create an installation. We can collect natural materials and clay on-site for a bisque fire or to make an earth sculpture. Bring any biodegradable materials you have at home and any personal projects you would like to work on.
Come along for some fun, friendship and artistic expression … and join us for winter burning.

What is the great walk?
Great Walks are about camping together in nature, walking the land and living in community. We organise food, walks, activities and provide equipment including a bus, kitchen facilities and a marquee for shelter. Everyone shares the responsibilities and we love having people of all ages come together. Walks are organised for interest and variety and cater to all levels of ability, with pick up points often available. The camps are family friendly, vegetarian, drug and alcohol free and encourage environmental / social care and awareness.
Where
We mainly walk in the South West of Western Australia and have occasional walks inland and further north.
