Join us for a birdwatching outing to Bunyip State Park.
The leader is Peter Murphy.
Wear suitable clothes for bushwalking, including a hat and sunscreen. Bring binoculars. Toilets available.
From Melbourne you can approach via Wellington Road through Clematis and Gembrook or via the M1 and Tynong North. We will meet at Mortimer Camping and Picnic Area, Triangle Road, Gembrook. From Gembrook use the Gembrook – Tonimbuk Road. From the M1 use Tynong North Road, then the Gembrook – Tonimbuk Road. Triangle Road runs northward off the Gembrook – Tonimbuk Road. 2H8V+6W, Gembrook, Victoria.
Parking: There is ample parking at the picnic ground. Toilets are available. Group table and seats available. Lunch will be here and to maximise birding will be taken later than usual. We will start the day by travelling as a convoy (carpooling encouraged) to the nearby Buttongrass Nature Walk, Camp Road, Gembrook, as the birding is likely to be easier and better here. There are no toilets at this location, and only a small parking area. We will return to the Mortimer Picnic area for lunch and there will be options for a series of short walks after lunch.
