| 28 Sep, Sat 1:00PM | Branch AGM and Wetland Walk | ||||
| Grade:2/6 | Length | 4km | 20m | Illawarra Branch | |
| Graham B. | |||||
 This year we are holding our AGM and get together at the Tallawarra Power Station picnic area and wetlands. Picnic area shelter is at the end of Yallah Bay, off the old Princes Hwy, just south of Dapto.
This is a location of special interest to NPA as there is community discussion on the future of this parcel of land that is home to an incredibly wide variety of birdlife and is deserving of greater conservation status. There is usually no public access but we have obtained special permission for a guided tour.
1:00 pm - Gather at the picnic shelter for the AGM. Which will include a light afternoon tea.
2:00 pm - We'll drive to the security station to sign into site, there are bathroom facilities there, then drive to the walk starting point. The walk is ~4km easy grade and will be guided by a bird and location expert who will explain to us why this place is so special and should be given due conservation status. Bring some water, appropriate weather protection and wear enclosed footwear. The walk will take about 90 minutes and we’ll have a drinks and viewing stop half way. Feel free to bring binoculars.
No RSVP required but if you are only attending for the wetlands walk at 2:00pm please text ahead so we can meet up with you, 0416 325266. All branch members, family and friends are welcome.
In the event of inclement weather at minimum the AGM meeting will still be on at the picnic shelter. Location: Tallawarra View |
