Kelly
Road;
Sunday 2 December ? Morning walk
For those who
missed out going to Lady
Elliot
Island, there will be an opportunity for
members and guests to accompany the retiring President to one of his favourite
bits of woodland at Kelly
Road, which runs parallel to the
Monaro
Highway just outside the ACT border about 10 km north
of Michelago. On past trips,
participants have had excellent views of the Hooded Robin, Brown Treecreepers,
Restless Flycatchers, Diamond Firetail, Rufous Songlark, Dusky Woodswallows
and Southern Whiteface. It is also one of the best spots close
to Canberra where very
close views of Fuscous Honeyeaters can be obtained.
Hopefully the
bird life at Kelly
Road will again be excellent
early this summer, in particular the 200 metre stretch at the southern end of
TSR 36. Meet Jack Holland
(6288 7840 AH or by
E-mail on )
at the Williamsdale Service Station at 7.30
am, for car
pooling etc prior to the 5-10 minute drive down the start of this outing. The main part will involve a 1-1.5 km easy
walk along this quiet road and is suitable for all members. Bring morning tea.
