Costa is coming to IndigiScapes!
Costa will join Ranger Stacey on the main stage in the morning for an interactive Q&A, sharing their energy and passion for the environment. This will be followed by a workshop packed with Costa’s knowledge and enthusiasm about gardening, with a focus on edible delights.
More exciting highlights:

Get involved in weaving, nature craft, make a seed ball, dig and discover worms. Kids can also enjoy yoga in nature, henna art, flora and fauna face-painting and a taste of cold-pressed honey.
Live music: Enjoy live performances by The Suga Cane Mamas, with Minjerribah singer Georgia Corowa, Hello Africa’s interactive drumming and dance, and the foot-stomping beats of local folk rock group, Diddly Squat.
Tasty treats: Grab a coffee or lunch from the IndigiCafe, or sample flavours from the many different stalls and food vans. Extra hungry? Support the sausage sizzle run by local Scouts and Guides Associations.
Don't forget your reusable mug and drink bottle!Native Nursery: Before you head home, swing by the native nursery to pick up something delightful for your garden to support biodiversity and wildlife conservation.

Slow down for wildlife
As it gets darker earlier, animals like wallabies, echidnas, koalas, and possums are moving around. This makes it harder to see them on our roads.
In Winter, their movements overlap with our busy times travelling to and from work. Here's a friendly reminder:
- Slow down on our roads.
- Keep an eye out when it's dark.
Thank you for keeping our wildlife safe.
