We host a number of groups in our Community Centre that cater to a range of different interests. Have a look below to see what's on!

Friday Friends

68 Waverley St Dianella

Friday Friends is a community time every Friday from 10-11:30am. Anyone can come. It’s a good place to meet a few people, have a little fun and, if you are new to Australia, practice your English with friendly people.

Club Friday. On the second and fourth Friday's a group of mainly retired and semi retired people enjoy a range of social activities including indoor bowls, craft and table games. Bring your knitting or crochet if you want!

Coffee Friday is on the first and third Friday's and we meet for companionship and general conversation about things that matter to you.

Both groups meet at 68 Waverley Community Centre. Cost is $5 and includes morning tea. Check it out a time or two for free.

We would love to answer your questions, let you know which thing is happening this week and make you welcome. You can call us on 92753773

Nature Walk

9:00am

Light Street Reserve

These guided walks give you a gentle wander through the bushland in the Dianella Regional Open Space. Your guide has a sound knowledge of the local flora and enjoys sharing that knowledge and learning new things too.

In March, the Noongar season will be 'Bunuru':

Bunuru is represented by the colour orange and is the hottest time of the year.

Bunuru is the hottest time of the year with little to no rain. Hot easterly winds continue with a cooling sea breeze most afternoons – if you're close to the coast.

Traditionally this was, and still is, a great time for living and fishing by the coast, rivers and estuaries. Because of this, freshwater foods and seafood made up major parts of the Noongar people’s diet during Bunuru.

Bunuru is also a time of the white flowers with lots of white flowering gums in full bloom, including jarrah, marri and ghost gums.

Another striking flower to look out for is the female zamia (Macrozamia riedlei). Being much larger than its male counterpart, the huge cones emerge from the centre of the plant with masses of a cotton wool like substance.

As the hot and dry weather continues, the seed cones change from green to bright red, indicating they're ripening and becoming more attractive to animals, particularly the emu, that will eat the toxic fleshy outer layer.
