S4 E17 Djakitj Larr - Eating Country Healthy

Saltgrass

In 2019 Bendigo was designated a UNESCO Creative City and Region of Gastronomy.

In this episode we discuss what that means and also deep dive into an event called Djakitj Larr which explores all the reasons why our region was chosen for this.

In early 2021 about 100 people gathered at a winery just outside of Harcourt. Djakitj Larr was an afternoon of food, performance and creative conversation that allowed people to connect and reflect, and generate ideas for building sustainable food systems on Djaara Country.

In this two part podcast Allie shares audio from the day and also an interview with the creators.
