Petrie Creek Bush Care News with Norm Morwood

The native bush along Petrie Creek surrounding the Rugby Ovals in Woombye that we’ve been planting, tending and encouraging for the last thirteen years, is home to many birds. Our regular bird recorders Judy and Lyn counted 36 different species at our BushCare Bee in early April.  This very cute young Kookaburra is one of them and seems to have the perfect situation, courtesy of the Rugby crossbar right next to its native bush home.

The next opportunities to join us in these BushCare activities around Nambour are as follows-   

• Namba Creek on Saturday 19 April starting at 8am. Access is through the main gate of the Model Rail Park off Florence St Nambour. 

• Gulung Gung on Wednesday 23 April starting at 8am. Parking is available in the NE part of Aldi Carpark in Howard St Nambour.  You’ll see us assembling near Petrie Creek on the north east edge of the large new park.

To join in the action, you’ll need to come in “long everything” bush protective clothing including boots/shoes and a hat. All tools required will be provided.  Let us know you’re planning to come by email to Norm or just turn up on the day.
