Crystal Creek: October 2020 Field Trip

Posted on December 8, 2020 by Townsville Brolga

We have previously visited other areas of Crystal Creek at higher altitudes and at the mouth, but this was the first time we’d gone just upstream of the bridge on the highway. We have no plans to check out just … Continue reading →

A Cape Cleveland Creek: September 2020 Field Trip

Posted on October 16, 2020 by Townsville Brolga

The creek has no sign with its name and no one has tracked down a map with it named, but it is a small one on Cape Cleveland a few km south of the AIMS gate. Fifteen people arrived where … Continue reading →

Bindal Ridge walk: August 2020 Field Trip

Posted on September 16, 2020 by Townsville Brolga

Elliot Springs is a fairly recent sub-division forced onto bushland on Townsville’s southern outskirts. Bindal Ridge seems to be the developer’s name for the low hills behind the residential area, not called that by the Bindal people themselves. However given … Continue reading →

SEPTEMBER 2020 BRANCH UPDATE

Posted on September 13, 2020 by Townsville Brolga

Broadwater Forest Park: July 2020 Field Trip

Posted on August 27, 2020 by Townsville Brolga

We’d come close to Broadwater Forest Park in Abergowrie State Forest before, when we walked the western end of the Dalrymple Track some years ago, but had never visited Broadwater itself, at least in recent memory, even though at 47 … Continue reading →

AUGUST 2020 BRANCH UPDATE

Posted on August 15, 2020 by Townsville Brolga

  So, the blankets are coming off the beds, the hats are going onto heads and we’re not taking quite so much pleasure in sitting in the sun…… welcome to the end of our so-called winter! Upcoming field trip ~ … Continue reading →

Bushland Beach: June 2020 Field Trip

Posted on July 18, 2020 by Townsville Brolga

The cancelled March outing to Bushland Beach was revived for June, when Covid restrictions eased and 20 people were allowed for outdoor gatherings. Low tide was conveniently mid-afternoon again and 12 people turned up to wander.  There had been the … Continue reading →

JULY 2020 BRANCH UPDATE

Posted on July 14, 2020 by Townsville Brolga

Four great conservationists and conservation scientists – two, sadly, no longer with us – feature in this update: Jon Brodie, Col Limpus, John Sinclair and Aila Keto. They remind us what a legacy their generation (to which some of us … Continue reading →

JUNE 2020 BRANCH UPDATE

Posted on June 13, 2020 by Townsville Brolga

Welcome to our June update – hard to believe we are already half-way through what has been a very strange year. Unfortunately, while the “lockdown” of human activity enabled many wildlife species around the world to temporarily reclaim spaces where … Continue reading →
