There has only been a limited response to the call last month to see if there was sufficient interest in this event to make it a formal COG field trip, and unless this changes early in September with this reminder notice, it is likely that only a small (probably informal) COG party will attend, with car pooling/sharing to help defray petrol costs.
Activities will involve lectures and workshops about birds and other aspects of the natural world; birding and nature related market stalls; displays of interest to the bird watching industry; wetland birding and nature tours; entertainment, art, and varied cultural activities. Details of the draft programs etc are on the home page of the Fivebough and Tuckerbil Wetlands Trust at http://www.fivebough.org.au/.
There is no competing field trip activity that week/weekend, so if you are interested please contact Jack Holland (6288 7840 AH or by E-mail on jack.holland@deh.gov.au) as soon as possible so the level of COG involvement can be determined.
