Sunday 6 February —
Jerrabomberra Wetlands (morning outing)
World Wetlands Day this year celebrates the 40th anniversary of the
Ramsar Convention on Wetlands of International Importance. Ginini Flats is the
only Ramsar site in the ACT, one of 64 in Australia, but the Jerrabomberra Wetlands are listed in the 'Directory of Important Wetlands
in Australia' and will be the
venue for this outing. We will search the wetlands and the adjacent Fyshwick sewage ponds for whatever ducks, waders, rails, waterbirds and other birds might be there and in the surrounding bush
and grasslands. Meet in the car park
off Dairy Road at 7.30 am. The outing is expected to finish by 11 am.
Bring binoculars, and a scope if
you have one, as well as a hat, sunscreen and water.
This outing will be led by
Harvey Perkins but for bookings, please contact Daniel Mantle ( or 0413 554 500). Should numbers become too large, the
group might need to be divided in
two, so if you are prepared to help lead this outing, please contact Daniel.
