Easter campout

[Sue Lashko <>]

The future field trip below did not appear in February Gang-gang, although it is on the website.  This may appeal to campers but for non-campers there will be an outing on Easter Saturday in Canberra.

 Good Friday 3 April to Easter Monday 6 April – Holbrook campout

The Easter campout will be on private property, 10 km north of Holbrook and 3 hours from Canberra. Almost all of the property is protected by an in-perpetuity conservation covenant through the Nature Conservation Trust of NSW.  Two adjacent properties are also protected with covenants, making a total of ~550ha of protected woodland and forest.  They sit directly between two significant nature reserves in the region – Livingstone National Park to the north and Morgans Ridge Nature Reserve to the south (which in turn is just above Woomargama National Park).  With decent scattered tree cover still remaining in much of the landscape in between, this makes the properties and national parks part of an important north-south set of linked habitats.  The property is a mixture of dry forest and grassy woodland, with the intergrade areas relatively healthy and the true valley-bottom grassy woodland areas in early-mid recovery stages.

Further details will be emailed to participants.  There will be a maximum of 15 participants.  To register, contact Sandra Henderson on
