POSTPONED FROM 29th FEB.
—
We will carpool from Calwell and start with a loop to London Bridge Homestead, mostly open with scattered trees and fringing woodland. The area around the Homestead can be good for declining woodland species such as Hooded Robin, Dusky Woodswallow, Diamond Firetail, Brown Treecreeper, and Southern Whiteface. We will then visit Tin Hut Dam for lunch where Yellow Thornbill, Musk Duck, and Australian Shelduck are possibilities. Wombats are almost guaranteed. If there is a Total Fire Ban the reserve will be closed and the walk will be cancelled.
