Join local ecologist & FOBIF committee member, Karl Just for this 3-4 kms walk where he will talk about the ecology of a few of the rare animals found in Kalimna as we walk through their habitat, including the Eltham Copper Butterfly, Bibron’s Toadlet, Brush-tailed Phascogale and Golden Sun-moth. We will descend into Happy Valley, and then wander through the Yellow Box woodlands of Moonlight Creek, a haven for many woodland bird species, before heading back up to the ridge where there are views of Tarrengower, Leanganook and Lalgambook. On the way back we will see if we can spot one of the regions rarest plant species, the beautiful Lanky Buttons daisy, and of course there will be masses of wildflowers to see throughout the walk!
Either meet at Castlemaine Community House in Templeton Street at 9.30am or Kalimna Park at 9.45am, which is just south of the intersection of Doveton Street and Kalimna Road. Google link: maps.app.goo.gl/hMqjRPR8hDceW1cg7
In order to minimise car parking on Kalimna Road, please consider car pooling from the Community House or, you may live within walking distance!
Acacia genistifolia, Kalimna Park, April 12: this wattle flowers for most of the year. Do we take it for granted?
