Monday 1st December 2025


Join local wildlife ecologist Dr Simon Cherriman for the last of the Noongar Six Seasons series of talks for 2025.

Wildlife breeding activity starts tapering off at this time of year as warm days and cool evenings are replaced by fairly consistent heat. However, thousands of years of evolution have allowed animals to adapt and adjust their activities to ensure water loss is minimised. Many creatures take refuge underground; others concentrate their activities to mornings and evenings.

Bookings are essential for this free event via Humanitix.

Light refreshments will be available. You are encouraged to bring your own keep cup for tea/coffee or water.

Please let us know if you have accessibility requirements.
