Upcoming Events
Little Blue at dawn at Karlu Karlu, NT.
After the rain, the amazing fungi appear like magic from the soil of the earth. Sapphire is available for personalised and group tours tours across Victoria and within Melbourne, and with a bit of notice across Australia. Take a walk with Sapphire and you can learn their names, discover their ecology, or take photographs of your findings. You can simply admire their beauty and enjoy the challenge of discovery.
Events & services
Sapphire loves to get out into Australian bushland as often as she can. She has a mobile tiny house on the back of an ex-fire truck she calls Little Blue 🚒. So if you and other people in your area would like to know more about any of the topics below get in touch and we will try to make it happen. Hopefully several events in your region and places to park Little Blue can be arranged to help reduce costs and maximise knowledge sharing.
