Celebrate the wonder of nature and new life on Wadjemup / Rottnest Island with a weekend of fun activities for the whole family. 

The Noongar season of Djilba, known as first spring, is a transitional time when the weather warms up and wildlife flourishes. Following the winter months, the island landscape comes to life with blooming trees, birds roaming the sky and quokka joeys taking their first hops into the world.

To celebrate, join us on Saturday 20 and Sunday 21 September for a free, family-friendly event packed with live entertainment, arts and crafts, a quokka photography workshop, eco-education, sensory play, and lots more. 

This event is free, however registrations are required. 

Full event program and registrations coming soon. Sign up to our email newsletter to be the first to know.
