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
