Morning visit came with cultural lessons

RESIDENTS from Arcare Balnarring spent a morning of learning about Aboriginal culture and the medicinal and dietary use of native plants during a visit to the Willum Warrain Aboriginal Association at Hastings.

Elder Uncle John spoke to the aged care centre visitors about the Bunurong people of the Mornington Peninsula before a didgeridoo performance wrapped up their visit.

“We thought it was a very calming place to visit. An outing enjoyed by all,” Arcare lifestyle coordinator Gail Perry said.
