The program for the 2011-12 Season as of 6 September is HERE
The Friday outing will be held a week later than usual, on the 10th February, to avoid clashing with the Stanthorpe Show. We will meet as usual at 9 am at Weeroona Park and then drive to Tenterfield. Our first stop will be the picnic area at the water supply dam where we will have smoko. There are usually a lot of birds on the dam so bring your binoculars and we’ll see if we can make a decent bird list.
We will then go to Tenterfield Park. This is a community based regeneration project of 5.6ha. that was undertaken by the Tenterfield Naturalists Inc. A walking track meanders through an area that was rubbish tips and quarries. Extensive plantings have been done since work on the park was started in 2004.
The first Sunday outing will be on the 19th February to Arucaria Falls in the Goomburra section of the Main Range NP. START from Weeroona Park at 8am; led by Helen Kruger. This walk requires some steep and possibly slippery sections.
More detail is always in the latest newsletter on the Documents page.
