Hello from Jessie, the Bidgee Floodplains Local Landcare Coordinator!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Spring is here at last, and it comes with a calendar full of events and a million reasons to go out bushwalking.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s my bush walk suggestions for September:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Bundidgerry Hill in Narrandera <\/strong>There are so many walking tracks through Bundidgerry, head to the stargazing point on the corner of Old Wagga Road and Ridgeview Road. Walk South, toward Bundidgerry Creek.<\/p>\n McCaughey\u2019s Lagoon Yanco <\/strong>Off Kiln Road in Yanco, meander through the River Red Gum woodland and see if you can spot one of the koalas from the Narrandera colony.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Not only is it set to be beautiful weather for a walk, but there will also be plenty of flora and fauna to observe. If you really want a challenge, why not join up to iNaturalist and start recording your observations? iNaturalist is a community-powered platform where people can record and share observations of plants, animals, and other living organisms to support biodiversity research and conservation. You may just learn a new species or two!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n You can join me for a creative morning as part of the Blooming Connections program on Thursday 18 September from 10am-12pm at the Narrandera Tafe campus. We\u2019ll learn some simple weaving techniques while sharing stories, a cuppa, and plenty of laughs. The Blooming Connections program is for Seniors (65+) and Elders (50+) and will continue to run until the end of the year.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n On Sunday the 7th<\/sup>, Narrandera Landcare Group is hosting a wildflower walk on Bundidgerry Hill. We will be meeting at the lookout on the corner of Old Wagga Road and Ridgeview Road at 10am. It\u2019s a good way to get the bushwalk in I suggested earlier!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Another great way to spot a koala is to join in on Narrandera\u2019s annual Koala Count, which is on the 21st<\/sup> of September at the Narrandera Flora and Flora Reserve from 9.30am until 1pm. Theres a festival the day before at Brewery Flat as well! Check out the details here 2025 Koala Count | Narrandera Shire Council<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
