Wildlife of the night: Discover the hidden wonders

Join local ecologist Dr. Mason Crane for an unforgettable guided night walk along Morleys Creek and the Tumut Wetlands, where we'll uncover the magical world of wildlife both in the bush and the waterways.

You will:

  • discover what goes on in the bush when the sun goes down
  • spot night-active animals such as gliders, bats, possums as well as some fish species
  • learn about protecting our waterways and bushland
  • hear what we are doing to improve these areas.

Bring along warm protective clothing (weather dependent), insect repellent. And a torch or headlamp if you have one (limited torches available on the night). Parental supervision is essential for minors.

This is a Refreshing Rivers project which has been assisted by the NSW Government through its Environmental Trust.
