Running through bushland by R Johnson

The Botanic Gardens and Parks Authority is developing a new environmental discovery and learning facility which will be the first of its kind in Western Australia and a legacy for the future generations of Western Australians. They aim to deliver a special place for the community, where individuals, in particular children are able to explore and connect with nature.

The Botanic Gardens and Parks Authority understands the problems of Nature Deficit Disorder, and the Rio Tinto Naturescape is based on the premise that urban children are in need of being exposed to nature. They aim to help these children develop environmental awareness and respect for nature.

For the most part, the new experience will exist in its natural state, reflective of a transitional area between developed parkland and local bushland environment. Rio Tinto Naturescape in Kings Park is expected to be constructed in 2010 and opened to the public in mid 2011.

Perth School Holidays in Luxury Camping

August 15th, 2008 by Chrissy

Boshack is fast becoming recognized as the fuel saver all year round holiday destination for families that can now experience the outback within 100k of Perth as the crow flies.

Camping within 5 metres of Lake Serene and being a part of the daily animal feeding gives the family the opportunity to give their children the “Back to the Farm” experience that many parents used to often do.

The lake is only 1.5 metres deep in the centre and about .5 metre deep at about 20 metres from shore.

You have the opportunity to do the tours if you have the time or the inclination.

Marshmellows over the fire at night and Pizza’s in the bush Pizza oven are a speciality. All meals are by means of BBQ or if you wish to cook something the Pizza oven and 20 banksia nuts is all you need to cook a 2 pound roast of lamb pork or chicken.

See the Worm Farm grow as it gets ready to feed the fish which will then supply the ingredients for a hydroponic veggie garden.
