5 Apr, Tue 7:00PM				Wildlife crossings for the Royal National Park and Heathcote Road – Webinar
					Branch
General Community Event
If you’ve ever been curious about wildlife corridors, and wondered what all the fuss is about, now is your chance to find out. Do animals use them? What about all the koalas killed and injured on our roads? Seeing a dead koala is devastating. Can wildlife crossings make a difference? If one of Australia’s best loved National Parks has wildlife corridors will this help stop local extinctions of some species in the park?

Grade:4/6		Length	40km	400m	Sydney Branch
Mark G.
(Cancelled) All intending walkers must be double vaccinated. This walk will take in some of the Buddawangs most spectacular walking routes and features and will be a walk you won't want to miss out on! Starting from Wog Wog campground we make our way past the following scenic locations - Mt Corang, Corang Arch, Burrumbeet Brook, Mt Tarn, Mt Haughton, Styles Creek, Hidden Valley, The Vines, and the Endrick river, to name a few! Hidden in these locations are comfortable camp caves, stunning grassy campsites, pristine watercourses and indigenous art sites, all worth exploring. I lead this walk 4 years ago and it proved enormously popular and I think once we are able to regain our freedom again, after all the lockdowns, this trip will be just the ticket to refresh the senses! Might be some overgrown tracks to be encountered. Location: Morton NP Map: Corang 89273N View

It connects us with nature, and with ourselves, through beautiful landscapes and inspiring encounters with wildlife. Bicentennial Park gives you glimpses of a creek and mangrove habitat as well as a quiet wetland area followed by the lovely Belvedere Lake with its central fountain feature. There is a wonderful opportunity for a view of surrounding scenery in the form of the treillage tower - a metal structure that gives you access to a 17 metre high viewing platform from which you can see some other areas of Bicentennial Park as well as the wider surrounds including the views of the city.
