0:39 I stand at the entrance of Newport Lakes
0:41 on Bon country home to the ELO willing
0:43 people although reference to the First
0:46 Peoples is not mentioned here instead a
0:48 Whimsical Narrative of a Bushland Oasis
0:50 being a great place for a picnic robs
0:53 this place of its complex history before
0:56 me spans a 33 hectare mish mash of blue
0:59 stone man-made lakes and vegetation seed
1:00 collected in the
1:02 Source from wherever it could be found
1:04 resulting in many of the trees being
1:06 native to South and Western Australia
1:08 friends of Newport Lakes ND
1:10 traditionally this may be seen as less
1:13 than ideal however I find comfort in
1:15 this chaos a homage to the varied and
1:18 multia facade of this place its forced
1:21 Evolution from a grassland site used by
1:23 the local Bon Clans to familyland for
1:25 European settlers to its use as a
1:28 Bluestone Quarry and its operation as a
1:31 refuge disposal in the 17 and 80s before
1:33 finally friends of Newport Lakes rallied
1:35 for its Redevelopment into the Bushland
1:38 Park that it continues to be today
1:40 Thompson barel landscape design
1:43 2022 almost immediately as I enter W
1:46 greets me he sits high in the tree Toops
1:48 and I wonder what might Birds be able to
1:51 teach me about wind and aerodynamics and
1:53 flight how might watching noticing and
1:55 attuning to the more than human world
1:58 reveal the languages of science how
1:59 might forming a relationship with
2:01 country helped me to pay attention to
2:03 environmental sciences and Fields such
2:06 as the weather Seasons ecosystems life cycles
2:07 cycles
2:10 biodiversity how might situated learning
2:12 on Country help to foreground indigenous
2:15 perspective and two as described by ham
2:19 and B learn with rather than just about
2:22 2017 I drawn to the shoke seats noticing
2:24 both the female and male shio scattered
2:26 amongst the scrub how might learning
2:28 with shks teach me of germination plant
2:30 life habitats and the interrelationship
2:33 between life forms I observe significant
2:35 eucalyptus trees noticing large sheets
2:37 of bark peeling away from their trunks I
2:39 wonder how shedding season might teach
2:42 me of microbes fungi photosynthesis and
2:44 of tree and plant growth I reflect on
2:46 how Hands-On learning in nature invites
2:48 curious discoveries because the
2:51 environment is always in flux how my
2:53 inquiry is stemmed from time spent in
3:02 as I continue I hear a plain fly
3:05 overhead and I wonder about the
3:06 interrelationships between natural
3:09 organic and man-made built
3:11 environments how learning with Place
3:14 helps decenter human Focus viewpoints to
3:17 consider whom we share this planet to
3:19 focus instead on how we can learn from
3:22 our entanglements with Place materials
3:25 and the plants and animals around us IO atel
3:26 atel
3:30 2017 I consider how might I be able to
3:32 create a conscious connection to place
3:34 to Foster an ecological identity which
3:36 leaves me determined to live in
3:40 honorable relationship with our planet P
3:42 2009 how this place is rich in
3:45 scientific opportunities for questioning
3:49 theorizing hypothesizing investigating
3:51 exploring understanding and learning
