Join BirdLife Bayside for an outing led by Tania Ireton to Balbirooroo Wetlands, Balnarring and Coolart Wetlands.
After visiting Balbirooroo Wetlands we will drive to Coolart Wetlands and Homestead. We’ll have an early lunch at Coolart before a walk around the property. Bring lunch, afternoon tea and a folding chair. Toilets at Coolart. Enquiries: Tania on 0433 015 282.
Please wear suitable clothes and shoes for bushwalking, including a hat and sunscreen. Please note that outings are very rarely cancelled, but will be automatically cancelled on days of a Total Fire Ban or severe weather.
There are two entrances into Civic Court but one is a dead-end. Take the entrance between Russell Street and Hurley Court and meet near the roundabout at the end (Melway 193 C 6) for the visit to Balbirooroo Wetlands.
After the walk we have a 5 minute drive to Coolart (Melway 193 G 8). Turn right from Civic Court onto Frankston-Flinders Road (C777) then right onto Sandy Point Road and first left to stay on Sandy Point Road. Take second right onto Lord Somers Road and right into the Coolart Entry Road, continuing to the visitor carpark.
