Regent Honeyeater Roadshow

28th Mar 2023

Our New England Regent Honeyeater Roadshow is on again!

Join us on the first stop in the New England Regent Honeyeater Roadshow. We will learn about the critically endangered Regent Honeyeater and what is being done on a national level to conserve them.  

This 'FREE' field day on 28th March will start with a morning bird identification walk commencing at 8:15am and starting from our meeting point; the Steinbrook Hall (Billirimba Road).  We will return to the Hall at approximately 9:30am where we will enjoy a hot cuppa and some morning tea followed by presentations from two expert speakers.
