Events are cancelled on days of TOTAL FIRE BAN, and may be cancelled due to poor weather or dangerous conditions.
For your own safety, wear appropriate clothing and footwear, preferably closed toed shoes and long sleeves. Remember that snakes and stinging insects share these locations.
If you have any questions about a particular outing, contact the leader directly.
We no longer require you to register for an outing, simply turn up. For this system to work, you MUST:
We usually have spare binoculars that you can borrow, but please let us know beforehand if you need them so that we can ensure that there are some available.
Please make sure that you check the outing start times carefully. This year we have decided to start Saturday outings earlier and Friday outings later in summer to avoid the worst of the heat.
The times shown in the program are the times that we move off from the meeting place, so please aim to arrive a few minutes early.
We will comply with any government requirements in place at the time of the outing.
