Songlines Farming and Foods

To coincide with World Environment Day, Pearl Cove Library will be hosting a Human Living Library event about Australian indigenous farming practises that have been long-forgotten, neglected, and written out of this country’s history since the time of white settlement. Special guest, Bruce Pascoe, author of Dark Emu will be taking part in this event, discussing how indigenous people used agricultural and aquacultural practises that made use of Australia’s land and river systems.

The event will have a selection of native foods courtesy of Bushlolly Café, all made from plants and grains which are native to Australia, and (mostly) grown locally around the Pearl Cove area.
