Come along to Woodlands Historic Park, one of the best bird watching hotspots in Hume City, to look and listen for a diversity of gorgeous birds.
Become a citizen scientist and do bird surveys for National Bird Week from 19-25 October 2026. You can find more information and download the app at Home - Aussie Bird Count
Meet at the pedestrian bridge, across Moonee Ponds Creek, from the carpark off Somerton Road, Greenvale.
We will be walking for 2.5 kilometers on relatively flat ground, following the Aboriginal cultural trail at Woodlands Historic Park. This is a wheelchair and pram accessible gravel track.
Wear good walking shoes and clothes appropriate for the weather.
Bring along your own binoculars, or Council has a few you could borrow for the morning. There should be some good photo opportunities if you wanted to bring your camera.
Please bring your own drink bottle.
