AUGUST OUTING ~ BALGAL BEACH LITTORAL RAINFOREST ~ SUNDAY 23rd AUGUST
Our outing this coming Sunday, 23rd AUGUST, will be to a patch of beach scrub vegetation that remains intact between The Esplanade and Ocean Parade at Balgal. This vegetation type has been extensively cleared in past decades and now is considered endangered.
Meeting time and place: At 9:00 am, at the picnic area/campground on the beach at the end of Justin Street, Balgal – see map below for more details. Allow about 25 minutes for the drive from the northern outskirts of town (Veales Rd, Jensen) to the Balgal Beach turnoff (just south of Rollingstone Ck) and a further 5-10 minutes from the turnoff to Justin Street.
Transport: People will provide their own transport, but please email us if you can offer someone else a lift, or need a lift yourself.
What to bring: Good shoes for walking on sandy tracks, any snacks required, *WATER*, gear for walking (track may be rough underfoot), birdwatching and photography, hat, sunscreen, insect repellent. We anticipate returning before lunch.
