When you’ve been in the business as long as we have, you accrue a seriously impressive collection of fossils and animal skulls!! The time has come to unlock the archives and share these fascinating artifacts with the public..

Studying animal skulls is a fascinating way to understand a creature’s diet, evolutionary adaptations, and place in the food web — learn all about it while also building observation and drawing skills. ✍️

It’s time to celebrate one of Australia’s oldest environmental organisation.. 🎞️

For decades, the Western Australian Gould League has flourished through the visionary contributions of educators, artists and scientists who see the Herdsman Lake Discovery Centre not just as a location for learning, but as a commitment to the protection of our local biodiversity and community. It now stands one of Australia’s last remaining Gould League branches.

This free special event will honour those whose philanthropy and passion have built the foundation of our programs. From displays featuring historic sketches, to scientific research and memorabilia from our members, we will be celebrating every chapter of our story.

This afternoon will also mark the grand opening of our ‘Heart of Gould’ Art Exhibition, showcasing competition entries from talented local artists, highlighting our community’s continuing talent and connection to nature.

Join us for a look back at our rich history and share your Gould League story. Registrations for this event are essential and tickets are limited, due to function room capacity.
