Cockatoo Creek – March 2019 Field Trip Report

Posted on December 29, 2019 by Townsville Brolga

Ross River Dam Borrow Pits: February 2019 Field Trip

Posted on December 28, 2019 by Townsville Brolga

After February’s infamous floods it might seem a bit incongruous that we selected the Ross River Dam and the oddly-named Borrow Pits* for our first outing of the year. Hadn’t we seen more than enough water? Apparently not – despite … Continue reading →

Ethel Creek, Paluma: November 2018 field trip

Posted on January 1, 2019 by Townsville Brolga

Paluma is the default trip destination in hot weather. This time we chose a walk we were unfamiliar with, to Ethel Creek Falls, and chose the easiest way to get there, from Hussey Road. A couple of members decided to … Continue reading →

Posted on November 16, 2018 by Townsville Brolga
