Join us for a reflective walk at the picturesque Tomato Lake, 27 Oats St, Kewdale. on April 12th, from 9.30 AM to 12.00 PM, as we embrace the serene beauty of the Djeran season.
Djeran, the Noongar season occurring from April to May, is marked by cooler weather and the blooming of wildflowers. It is a time of transition, symbolizing the shift from the heat of summer to the crispness of autumn. The gentle breezes and mild temperatures make it an ideal period for outdoor activities and reflection.
Tomato Lake, a hidden gem nestled in the heart of the city, offers a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of urban life. Surrounded by lush greenery and a diverse array of flora and fauna, the lake provides a perfect backdrop for a peaceful walk. The well-maintained trails wind through the natural landscape, offering stunning views of the water and the surrounding ecosystem.
What to Expect
The reflective walk is designed to promote mindfulness and a deeper connection with God and nature. Psalms 24:1: "The earth is the Lord's, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it." As you stroll along the scenic paths, take time to observe the intricate details of the environment—the vibrant hues of the wildflowers, the melodic calls of the birds, and the gentle rustling of leaves in the breeze. The walk encourages participants to engage their senses fully, fostering a sense of calm and introspection.
The walk is on level ground and is not a fitness walk. It is graded ‘easy’ and there are varying distances that people can choose to walk.
