Mittagong revisited; 10-11 October - overnight
accommodated/camping
This will be a reprise of the COG outing in September
2007, with some differences. We
expect to be travelling down round lunchtime on Saturday, staying in Mittagong
overnight and returning latish on Sunday afternoon, fitting in waterbirds at the
Cecil Hoskins Reserve and exploring the Box Vale and other tracks to the north
of the town where a range of birds including the Origma (Rock Warbler), Pilot Bird and Bassian Thrush are likely to be
seen. Another attraction will be the spring wildflowers, this visit
is a month later to ensure the Waratah is flowering.
If you are interested in participating please contact
Jack Holland on 6288 7840 or m("environment.gov.au","jack.holland");
href="BLOCKED::">, who will be
able to provide further information including the draft program, how
to get there and the range of accommodation available, from which participants
will need to make there own bookings. It is recommended accommodation is
arranged as early as possible as it will be just after tulip time in the
Southern Highlands, with advance bookings already expected to be
significant. There will again be a meal together on Saturday evening in a
local restaurant. Participation in either the Saturday or Sunday
program will also be possible.
