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!!!

Our dear friend De Greer Yindimincarlie won't be able to make it this year. De has always judged and coordinated the Bunya Guitar challenge. We will miss her presence. Luckily I've managed to lure Andrea Kirwin away from her Nambassador role to be our guest judge this year.

We are excited to have as a guest judge in the Bunya cooking challenge, Chef Kieron Anderson.

Hey Bunya Dreamers I received an email yesterday afternoon and it's all approved. Thanks to those people who supported us through that anxious period of unknowing. I have to wait for the documents and sign them before I can make the announcement and begin a big promotion drive. Message stick deliveries for our special guests will begin then too. Stay tuned for further notices.
