Bunya Dreaming

Nga'ra Bunya Dreamers!!

It is with great regret that we would like to inform you that we will not be holding Bunya Dreaming in January 2025. This gathering event is a family run space, and it takes a lot of work and time to put together annually.

We have decided that going forward we will now hold Bunya Dreaming bi-annually. We know our Bunya Dreamers will be disappointed, we hope you can understand it has been a hard call to make but a necessary one for our family.

Please stay tuned - Throughout 2025 we will hold some dreaming up and get together spaces leading to a much-anticipated Bunya Dreaming 2026!!

We can all still celebrate and share in the Bunya on January 26th with our family and friends, perhaps you can use the time to practice your challenge skills to enter in 2026 and take home the Bunya team trophy or prizes.!!

Keep the dream alive!!
Wishing you all a safe and Merry Christmas & Happy New Year from The Bunya Dream Team!!

Hi Bunya Dreamers

This Saturday 20 Jan
Bunya Shelling arvo at Booloumba creek to prep nuts for Bunya Dreaming!

A chance to gather with others and share the Bunya season spirit preparing for the big gathering. Come along to Elischa & Ira’s from lunchtime onwards. Bring a picnic to keep you going, swimmers, your favourite Bunya shelling tool if you have one and extra Bunya cones if you have. (We have plenty of nuts & tools though.) The road sign says 4wd only but depending how much rain we’ve had, the first crossing might be passable in any car. Otherwise it’s adventure time; park and walk in 200m over crossings or carpool with a 4wder.

Address is 464 Booloumba Ck Rd and there’s a sign which says “‘Miriamdel Art Distillery.” Feel free to message Elishcha Swan to let her know if you are coming.

How much do you think a Bunya Cone can weigh?

Their sizes vary as they fall from the Bunya Tree some smaller, some much larger cones.
We would recommend being careful standing under the shade of this majestic tree during Bunya Season, wouldn't want the weight and force of a Bunya cone falling on you!!!

Come along to Bunya Dreaming Saturday 27 January 2024 and enter into our Guess the Weight challenge!!!
