This week has been amazing, holding two Lokeri-Freshwater Mussel Yarning Circles, with one event at Clayton Bay and the other at Terringie, Raukkan. These gatherings brought together Elders, Working on Country Rangers, and community members to connect on Country and share knowledge.
The days began with lakeside yarning circles, followed by hands-on activities in the water to search for Lokeri and build skills around its care and conservation. A shared Coorong mullet lunch added to the sense of community and celebration.
Filled with rich storytelling, laughter, and meaningful exchanges, the events emphasized the deep cultural and ecological connections tied to Lokeri. These gatherings showcased the power of coming together to celebrate and protect Country, leaving a lasting impact on all who participated.
