Join us for a birdwatching outing to Nangak Tamboree Wildlife Sanctuary (La Trobe Bundoora) and Gresswell Forest (Macleod).
The leader is Claire Kelly.
Group limit 25. Attendance by online registration only, using the link below, to enable management of numbers. We’ll meet in the sanctuary carpark and wait for the gates to be opened at 10am. Toilets are inside the gates and will be our first stop. Entry is by donation so please bring spare change if you can manage it. There are three resident emus who may investigate us but are used to visitors. We’ll be accompanied by a guide from the sanctuary.

After 2–3 hours at the sanctuary we’ll drive 8 minutes to Gresswell Forest for lunch and a walk. There are basic toilets here.
Wear suitable clothes for bushwalking, including a hat and sunscreen. Bring binoculars.
Nangak Tamboree is on La Trobe University’s Bundoora campus. From Plenty Road turn into Main Drive and follow the signs to the wildlife sanctuary and nursery. Park in the carpark. For Gresswell Forest, please be careful as this reserve is part of a complex of connected sites, all with similar names. We will access it from Greenwood Reserve, off Greenwood Drive in Macleod. There is a very small carpark here; otherwise, it is street parking.
