🌺End of July; Watching the Whales 🐳 Forage - La Perouse-Little Bay

🌺This is a whale 🐳 watching Forage from La Peruse Bay, through the National park and Military embattlements to Little Bay, where we walk following the coast line.

The views are stunning here, and the foliage quiet interesting and beautiful, with over a thousand different uses, including just to explore and appreciate.

What you will find here are secret swimming areas, an abundance of bird life and other wild life, including reptiles and fish. And one of Sydneys largest coastal Wetland, in an Aboriginal protected area.

There are edible seaweeds and Wild Olives here, and a field of Chinese Cherry trees. Root and Ginger plants once used by the Indigenous locals and the colonials, for sustenance and survival. There are also at least six varieties of wild spinaches, and a flax plant once harvested for grain and fishing line, but is now grown industrially to make modern strength concretes and plastics. Including the worlds thinnest condom.

🌺The Kameygal peoples of the Eora Nation are this areas local Custodians, and we pay their elders our humble respects as we traverse and explore this beautiful area; visit their early landmarks, and appreciate paths rarely explored by Sydneysiders, but well known to the locals, including the indigenous folk of South Sydney, who have maintained their rights in law to this area, and are still quite a thriving and active community.

The area is quiet a mixture of other cultures as well, with migrant communities from southern Europe and South America, mixed with Irish and old Londoners, and some middle eastern Lebanese, who all brought much of their edible fruits and plants with them, like an assortment of Basils - at least four varieties here, European Olives like the Kalamata, beets, radishes, and other greens not normally seen in our supermarkets, but once used extensively by the communities and people here.

There is a lot to share, so if these are the things that interest you, or may interest the young people in your life now on holidays, why not join us on a forage.

As I say in earlier walks i have done, and with survival people I have trained: Foraging is an excellent past time that you will learn a lot from, and the adventure is real, and the people you will meet in the group are just lovely.
