In the southwest of Australia, the Nyoongar seasonal calendar includes six different seasons in a yearly cycle. Instead of fixed dates, the flowering of many different plants, the hibernation of reptiles and the moulting of swans are all helpful indicators that the seasons are changing.
In this set menu dining event you'll taste your way through four courses inspired by four of these Nyoongar seasons: Bunuru, Djeran, Makuru, and Djilba. Each course will highlighting seasonal bush tucker ingredients, used in indigenous daily life for over 40,000 years.
Your evening will also include a sample board presented on each table, with standalone portions of featured native ingredients available for you to crunch, smell, touch and taste.
Our curated list of paired drinks features two seasonally-inspired cocktails garnished with native ingredients, alongside a pair of premium local wines.
