Walaay Gayaa (Happy Camp) Cultural Burn

10 July @ 10:00 am - 2:30 pm AEST

Join us for a significant and educational Cultural Burn at Walaay Gayaa (Happy Camp) Reserve, located at the corner of Monteray Street and Forest Road in Tamworth, from 10am to 2:30pm. This event provides a unique opportunity to witness and participate in a traditional land management practice that has been used by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples for thousands of years.

The Cultural Burn will be led by knowledgeable Indigenous fire practitioners who will demonstrate the careful and respectful methods of conducting a controlled burn. Participants will gain insights into the cultural significance of fire in Indigenous traditions and how these practices are being revitalised and integrated into modern land management.

This event aims to foster a greater understanding and appreciation of Indigenous knowledge and practices, highlighting their importance in contemporary environmental stewardship. We look forward to welcoming you to Walaay Gayaa (Happy Camp) Reserve for this informative and meaningful event.
