A learning experience for everyone!
Kaartdijin Dandjoo is a free hands-on learning experience taking place at the Harvey Recreation and Cultural Centre across the Noongar six seasons.
Registrations are now open for our four Makuru (wet season) program sessions.
The Makuru program introduces you to everything Bindjareb Boodja (Harvey Region). Participants will discover Noongar symbols and how they are used to share stories about people, place and life on Country. You’ll explore landscapes, animal tracks, traditional storytelling and the knowledge you need to create your own visual story.
Registrations are essential. Book your spot here.
Kaartdijin Dandjoo was developed with the support of the Harvey Aboriginal Corporation.
