Workshop Highlights

This distinctive plant carries profound cultural importance and continues to play a vital role in the teachings and practices of the Noongar people today.

Cultural Significance

Learn about the Candle Stick Banksia’s traditional uses—its branches and barks were used to preserve fire ambers, while old flower spikes served as tinder for fire-making. Discover how the flowers can be soaked for nectar or enjoyed directly, creating a connection to the land and its resources.

Creative Expression

Engage in artistic activities inspired by the distinct characteristics of the Candle Stick Banksia. Capture its vibrant colours and unique shapes as you create your own masterpiece.

Taste of Tradition

Enjoy homemade damper and quandong jam paired with a cup of tea or coffee. This is a delightful way to experience traditional flavours while you create.
