The Campout will be held from 16-20 August, based at Crystal Creek Community
Centre, Mutarnee, 65 km north of Townsville. Subject to numbers, field trips
will cover a variety of habitats, from the coast to the highlands, including
rainforest, dry sclerophyll forest, coasts and wetlands. There are excursions
planned for: Paluma National Park, Paluma township and Birthday Creek Falls,
AWCs Taravale, Tyto Wetlands and Wallerman Falls. Information will also be
available for self-guided birding excursions to many nearby areas. In the
evening, enjoy some informative talks by locals with expertise in NQ's birds.
The Crystal Creek Caravan Park, next door to the Community Centre, is the
suggested camping venue, though other accommodation is available within a 30
minute drive of Mutarnee.
