No more registrations are being accepted for this outing as it is fully subscribed.
Due to waterlogged areas, the walk was postponed for 2 weeks.
This is a relatively new site so why not join this outing to be part of BQ’s first organized walk at Archerfield Wetlands. The BQ Citizen Science team have been undertaking regular surveys of the site as have others and to date, 168 species have been recorded at this eBird hotspot https://ebird.org/australia/hotspot/L2559130.
To make the most of our walk, it is intended to have vehicles at both the southern and northern ends of the 4km track. For this reason, all participants are asked to register for the walk and indicate if they are able to provide transport back to our starting point. The transport arrangements will be made prior to the outing and may involve some members arriving at the starting point a little earlier.
The track itself is well marked, sealed in parts and easy walking. We will meet at the Bowhill Road entrance to Archerfield Wetlands at 7 a.m. (a little earlier for those who will park at the northern end to transport the group back to Bowhill Road at the end of the walk).
We will have morning tea and bird call at the Bowhill Road, Durack entrance. Presently, there aren’t any facilities at the site although a picnic area, toilets and parkland are currently under construction and could be opened by late 2024. Check the National Public Toilet Map at https://toiletmap.gov.au/ for more information on nearby facilities if required.
As usual, wear a hat, suitable footwear and bring water, insect repellent and sunscreen, morning tea and a chair for bird call.
