Head to the Koppies for storytelling this Heritage Month

There is plenty to learn and enjoy at Melville Koppies this Heritage Month.

Book a guided tour to learn about the Koppies’ rich history; its ancient rocks and thousands of years of habitation or join storytelling on September 14.

Storyteller Merle Grace will take visitors back in time with The Book Tree (a funny and wildly magical tale about keeping books, free thought and kindness alive), and a San-bushmen story about where fire comes from.

Round off the month on September 28 with a 8km hike to experience fresh air, green shoots and good company or just pitch up on any Sunday morning (expect September 7 as the Koppies will be closed for a road race).
