Our next outing - Killawarra Forrest on Thursday 12 September

26/8/2023

Spring is nearly here and the wattles are looking wonderful. It’s a lovely time for birdwatching.

We start our program for semester 2 on 14th September with a visit to Killawarra forest northwest of Wangaratta.Because of the travel involved, I would like us to meet at 9am, instead of 9.30am, at the carpark at the back of the Seniors Building.

Please bring the usual things for outdoor activities – a hat, water, binoculars if you have them and wear sturdy footwear. You may want to bring a sandwich or snack in case we do not get back to Benalla by lunchtime.

If you are a passenger, please bring a small amount of money to pay your driver.

Birdwatching

If you would like to know more about birds in the Benalla district and would appreciate help in identifying birds, this group could be for you. The program involves mainly morning walks in local habitats rich in a range of bird life such as Reef Hills, Winton Wetland and Benalla Lake. There may also be an all day outing to a more distant location. Bring along a pair of binoculars to gain more value and enjoyment from this activity.
