One sudden clap of thunder early in the morning was followed by a perfect day. We even fitted in lunch under the trees, before another round of bird watching at The Oval clearing. Thanks Kathy for an enjoyable day's outing."

"Thursday's U3A Bird Watching Group visited the lovely Killawarra section of the Warbys. Knowledgeable leader Kathy's keen eyes spotted many birds our eyes missed, and she identified those we couldn't see just by their calls. Early wildflowers underneath golden wattles in full bloom also provided pleasant viewing. One sudden clap of thunder early in the morning was followed by a perfect day. We even fitted in lunch under the trees, before another round of bird watching at The Oval clearing. Thanks Kathy for an enjoyable day's outing." *P.S. Thanks to Rupert for teaching us a new dance...the Ants Nest Hip Hop.
